2/ Example : If someone is hammering on about meditation and awareness (e.g. this account in the past) you can bet your life that they are the farthest from what they project and in fact the truth of the matter is they are actively struggling with their own mind dominating them.

Another example: when people obsess about productivity techniques, they likely struggle with not procrastinatoning and being effective. The most productive people I know obsess about productivity the least.

Though one example that might challange this theory is fitness. When people obsses over working out and eating healthy, it's not necessarily because they struggle to get fit, but because you'll never have enough of anything you obsess about (... or bc it's how they make $$)

Being in shape and-to some extent-eating healthily are objectively difficult things to do, regardless of a personal subjective weaknesses. 100lbs is always 100lbs. Being able to maintain those habits consistently is hard and we take pride/display that, not what comes easy to us.
