It's hard not to give in.
The problem is it's just so much easier to post a selfie with a quote or with an audio track and be all in your feelings on the internet, when no one genuinely gives a fuck, rather than actually sincerely examining internally what you should be doing.
In turn, what you should be doing will always be unequivocally difficult. It will require your will, discipline, & focus which is the opposite of what this modern world presents.
We are in a place in history wherein instant gratification and dopamine release overcome ethics, integrity, & principles.
A lot of times we know what we need to but the challenge and tediousness of it all scare us away. Hence, we end up choosing the easier short term band aid fix.
This leads us to one of the biggest lies we as people tell ourselves, that we have no more choice, that are no more options.
There always is. Always, even if there is a gun pointed to your head.
It's just that nine times out of ten, the right choice is profoundly harder than the immediate fix.
And I am, I'm scared to fall into that category, the category wherein people give in to the quick fix & instant dopamine release.
And before you they know, their whole lives have become a quick fix, running away from the "truth" or the struggle needed to achieve greater heights because they're weak and lazy.
It's fucking tough.
However, I always want to have hope. It'll be a colossal problem when I don't. I might just "off" it all. Haha. But to be honest, I don't think that will be the case.
Inshallah.
I have dreams and aspirations for my life. Though I want to be content and live a light hearted & easy going life, there are plenty of things I want to experience out of this.
I want to get that extra squeeze in and get that "juice" as they say.
I know I'm a winner. I know what I have inside me. I have the all tools to get all the jobs done.
My whole life have been filled with nothing but blessings.
Allahu Akbar.
I. Just. Have. To. Stop. Getting. In. My. Own. Head.
Until then, it's merely about passing one marshmallow test at a time.
