He didn’t know what he was going to, but it had to be better than what he was leaving behind
– Harry Potter
We don’t know what lies in the future, we don’t know where we’re going to end up
But every day we get the chance to shape our future through the choices we make and the opportunities we take
So no matter how bad the past has been we can look ahead with great excitement because the future possibilities are endless so they have to be better than what we leave behind
A slave to your desires
Watching Tv late at night
Checking your phone when you’re trying to get shit done
Eating the cake or snacks
Porn
We’re all slaves to our desires, yet we are unchained and the gates to escape our pit are unguarded
We know this.
We know we can free ourselves
We know if we do we can grow
We can get that shit done.
But we don’t
We allow ourselves to be pulled back in
Pulled back to our desires away from the gates of freedom
We are slaves to our desires. Until we decide we are not.
Long term reward normally has a short term pain…
For example I have Exercise induced asthma which is a weird combonation because long term, Exercise helps manage the asthma but short term after a run for example it causes a bit of a choughing fit.
On the other end of the scale we have short term pleasure which normally resulys in long term pain if repeated.
Lets go for a weird example and say someone starts watching porn (In a relatiobship) which as a one off or on occasion isnt an issue but if the porn watching contines, you get the short term pleasure of the quick relese, but the long term pain is that the porn starts interfearing with the intamacy between you and your partner…
The sex life is compromised and then the relationship starts to fall apart…
Where as if they went through the short term pain of not masterbating for one night so they had the sexual desire for their partner the next this would result in long term reward (Providing that the rest of the relationship was spot on)
Obvisioly a bit of short term pleasure every now and then isn’t an issue but eventually you have to decide what you want for the rest of your life, becuse which ever one you choose the long term is geting effected.
Life is good
Life is great
Even though I’ve not felt it as of late
Life is good
Life is great
I’ve felt down
I’ve felt lonely
I’ve felt stressed
I’ve felt
Because I’m alive
Not matter what I feel
I’m living
And that is great
That is life.
Life is good
Life is great
