Human beings copy flaws far quicker than they copy virtues. When you surround yourself with people who have low standards, you tend to drop yours. Bad habits require zero effort to replicate.
What we call talent is often just the combination of:
A deep need to win and high agency
The ability to learn fast from mistakes
A beginnerโs mind that never disappears
The common thread: an unusually high rate of learning.
1. Your focus.
The nafs ammara doesnโt need much. One relapse. One night.
And suddenly you canโt stay on one task.
You open your laptopโฆ but youโre on your phone, switching tabs, finishing nothing.
Thatโs not laziness. Itโs the nafs still in control.
And the scary part? You donโt even notice it.
My favorite quote from Atomic Habits by James Clear:
"It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it.
If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire.
To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment."๏ฟผ
