We often grow up assuming that one day, everything will fall into place.
We grow up, we evolve, we adapt, we change.
We assume this means we get better.
Daria Shevtsova
Not everybody leads the life they want.
Not everybody becomes the person they were meant to be.
This might disrupt your worldview, and it should.
Because theres something very important at stake, and that is your potential.
You failed to realize that change is a present choice, or it is nothing at all.
Many people are not given the gift of a comfort zone collapse.
This is what happens when not changing who you are becomes the less comfortable option.
We have a lot of addictions in life, and the majority of them are subtle.
You are subtly addicted to your phone, the TV, your relationship, and your sense of self.
You dont begin to realize this until it starts to be taken away from you.
Subtle addictions are the most dangerous, because you execute the risk of never becoming aware of them.
This happens because of reinforcement loops.
Your life works on a feedback system where you strengthen the behaviors that are reinforced.
If you are rewarded every time you do something, you become highly inclined to do that thing.
Until these feedback loops start breaking, you never wake up.
They are coddled, they are enabled, and mostly, they coddle and enable themselves.
They are never forced to grow up.
They are never forced to change.
They are never forced to become the people they want to be.
One of the most essential facts about human nature is that we are comfort-seeking animals.
We are always in pursuit of the familiar, the known, and the simplistic.
In trying to avoid discomfort, we become a shell of the person we were meant to be.
In being willing or forced to experience it, we become exactly who wed always intended.
Life is ironic like that.
