How does everyday erosion of habits change who we become?
When you look at Erosion. Like say dunes on a beach. What you see is something giving itself away. Little by little. Deteriorate. Sure, there will be events that expedite the process, but generally speaking it's lost a little bit at a time. Day by day. Right in front of our eyes. Until the time comes when we realize that What we have is no longer recognizable. It's sort of redefined. And I think in a lot of ways we find ourselves in a similar situation. The concessions we allow every day. Slowly redefined. Who? You know, when it doesn't seem like much, that's the thing, it never does. Quietly detaching from what you believe. Taking on an identity that doesn't quite align with who you are, doing things, being places that causes something in your gut to protest.
toning down the color in your life so that you blend in. These are not epic monumental decisions. It's the drawn out erosion of what makes you who you are. It's the chipping away of what makes you spectacular. See the idea that now isn't permanent. So I'll just suck it up now. What's the big deal? I'll just settle for now. Let me tell you, if that's your rationale, you're forgetting how easily tomorrow becomes never and now becomes forever. We operate under an illusion that things will become easier. That change will be less strenuous down the road. We'll make things right, get back on track, be happy then. But the harsh reality is that things don't get easier than they are at the present moment. It's quite the opposite.
And to disregard or ignore this. Is to let yourself wither away at the hands of procrastination. If you're planning to wait for that, get comfortable. And see, conceding day in and day out, it alters your understanding of who you are and what you're capable of. Our actions reinforce our beliefs. Imagine a straight line, a simple straight line drawn on a piece of paper. Right? You're in the middle. And on one end is who you are, in your heart, in your soul, and on the other end is everything you're not. Every time you sacrifice your principle, your beliefs, every time you say, that's not me, but fine, that's not where I want to be, but okay, it's only temporary, you take a little step toward what you're not.
And another step and another step and one day you look in the mirror and you have no clue who's looking back at you. Because you've conceded one small decision at a time, you've given away your sense of purpose. Sure, the situation is difficult. But the best things in life are the things that are not easy. You have to fight for those things. You have to stand up in the face of struggle, adversity, the narrative that others want to write for you. We stay within guidelines because we think the outside is scary. No, what's inside is scary. What's outside is what you need. And when you stop banking on the anticipated miracles of tomorrow and manage the reality of today. Юксід. It's life's greatest test.
Are you brave enough to be you? Are you strong enough to fight back when you're tempted to hide, to blend in? Every time you summon the courage to stay true to yourself, it gets easier. The difficulty lessens. You become free of the mental chains you've placed around your ankles. There are certain things in life worthy of compromise. But your identity, your journey, what makes you feel alive, that is sacred ground, that is worth defending until your last breath. No one can take that because it's yours. And when you look back on your life... and the amazing people in it, a life lived fully, will always supersede marching through your days wearing a mask and following someone else's agenda. It's your life.
It's your gift. Live it.
What you need most is the reminder that you need nothing. At all. It costs zero dollars to begin. To see the road before you is one leading. To upside. Oh, but this is the real world, one might think, and in the real world exist real and tangible obstacles. Sure. Obstacles that are solved one by one when you move into Directly into the room. Ill equipped. Ill prepared. Not quote unquote ready. But willing.
