How do you start being a Hedonist, without feeling overwhelmed and demotivated?
Post Body

I was thinking a lot of the past few days, and I came up with a suitable life-philosophy for me (I am a existentialist nihilist, so seeking pleasure is the only thing worth doing in my opinion to distract yourself before death).

Just as we have the so-called "seven deadly sins" (lust, gluttony, greed, pride, envy, wrath, sloth), I shall regard them as virtues actually. Not something we should suppress, but we should seek out and use to our advantage.

So in order to live by the seven deadly sins, I should become a person who is sex-obsessed (lust), eat lots of junk-food (gluttony) and lazy (sloth), yet still a dominant (wrath) narcissist (pride) who earns lots of money (greed) so he can buy himself everything he wants (envy). Basically Charlie Harper on steroids.

But how can I actually achieve this? I feel kind of demotivated, as it is impossible to achieve it in the first place, and would take lots of hard work and sacrifices (and as a Hedonist, I want results now, and not delayed pleasure. I mean, who knows, maybe I'll be dead in a week due to a car accident, so why should I delay pleasure if I could have it now?).
