Simple errors that can cost you big
There are various mistakes many people make in life especially people in their young age being controlled by impulses, neglecting what happens to matter most and chasing after the wind just like it’s written in the scripture. Ecclesiastes 1:14
- living without purpose: One of the things that makes a person’s life meaningful happens to be purpose, and a person without purpose can easily be swindled into things of mediocrity, reason Is due to lack of identification of what a person ought to be living for. When there’s nothing valuable to wake up to on a daily, the mind finds it easy picking up any random activity to dwell on. That’s the reason so many people rather sit all day scrolling through the internet without ever reaching the point of satisfaction, their aim is to fill the void with pleasure which can’t possibly be achieved by so doing.
- Living inaunthentically: nowadays many people prefere living in the shadow of themselves they rather be someone acceptable by others than maintaining their true self, they are afraid of being judged and would always do everything possible just to fit in for applause even when they end up being drained in the process. Youth nowadays easily find the wrong things to emulate just in order to feel among, a young individual who should be focusing on self development and living healthily would be seen engaging in unhealthy lifestyle like drugs, womanizing and many other harmful way of living which only produces momentary satisfaction but attracts long term risk.
- Obsession with the internet: many people are unaware that their biggest weakness happens to be the internet, it feels good scrolling through the phone a whole day but most contents we consume online affects our lives without us even realizing. Not being able to regulate the amount of time we spend on the internet can limit a person’s mind from exploring their inner qualities. Reason Is due to comparisons that subconsciously gets created in the mind weighing a person’s current state with the final outcome of a content displayed on the screen blocking the existence of reality in the picture. I started noticing at a point in time when I thought of searching for something online, once other recommended content shows up I end up forgetting what I intended on searching for, that’s an example of how one’s mind can be re-directed from focusing on what matters and scrolling through every content uploaded online, there wouldn’t be any point of satisfaction to the amount of content consumed once you’ve become obsessed, watch out for this mistake
- Depending on family/relatives for survival: The feeling of having a family or relatives In the position of a helper or financial solution provider can create an illusion of being in a safe spot. This is due to the expectations that problems would automatically be solved having these people around. Many people get trapped with this mindset only to end up being disappointed leading to resentment later in the future and dispersion amongst families. Having a family is a blessing but it’s important to realize that dependency can create a false sense of security which can get a person trapped for long.
