Have you ever wondered why some people don't achieve their goals while others do?
Because majority of us have become impatient & chase quick fixes of dopamine to feel good right now, losing sight of long-term outcome.
Sacrificing your future for present happiness.
If you're striving to be the best, then you are just sacrificing your happiness and joy in the present moment in hopes of future dreams.
Get out of your mind and focus on what you're supposed to do right here and now.
Being the best is keeping you stuck in future.
@markmanson The struggles always feel like a curse when it comes but as time passes we feel grateful of it to happen and how it shapes who we are today.
I never used to understand this before until I observed my life and saw how struggles were not a curse but a part of my blessing.
Not everything that happens or is said needs to have an emotional response to it. We get emotional because we interpret it in a certain way. We keep repeating that thing in our head again and again, causing us emotional suffering.
We only feel bad about rejection and doubt ourselves when we care how others perceive us. The moment you stop thinking about others perceptions of you, the actions become more important than outcome.
Do you need to care what others think or what happens to you?
No!
The effects last, but if you carry them, you’re responsible for the suffering.
You only become impacted when you associate something said or done to you with yourself.
