sub: why I'm doing work so hard, avoid all the distraction-pleasure & sometimes jealous of others people who enjoy pleasure.
When I see people my age enjoying with friends, chilling, making GF/bf, junk food, porn, social media, and other pleasureful activity & the immediate thought comes to my mind — why should I'm not doing it? Instead, I do hard challenges, do self-improvement, wake up early, read tons of books, run, avoid junk food & all short-term pleasures… but why?
Why should I not have friends to enjoy, or hang out with?- I also want To enjoy it!!
Sometimes I just can't describe it in words. People talking late at night, video calling, doing love-sex & what I'm doing?
Ofc, self-doubt comes, but I know one thing: short pleasure never gives long-term happiness. Always remember, the higher the pleasure, the higher the pain. The pain of average, the pain when u like something but don't have money to buy it, when u look like shit neglecting exercise, when you waste your youth seeking pleasure & doing nothing valuable, when u have poor health condition, what u do in daily life has a price & cost.
"Most people choose short-term pleasure at long-term cost."
Tanmay, don't think of pleasure, choose discipline instead. Don't fall for short-term pleasure; be consistent and be high-value. The late night, the early morning, skipping fun, being the last person who leaves the study table, at the end of the day, all things pay off. Be a man, be the most hardworking & wealthiest person in the room.
Edit-jealousy is a female trait; men have the balls to compete!
In reality, I also have the option to decide pleasurable things, but no, I have the fucking disciplined & commitment to myself—I don't seek pleasure from easy activity.
If god gives me an offer—hell or pleasurable activity? 10/10 I decide, hell.
Sounds silly, right? Who decides death over pleasure? Yeah, but when I'm going to hell, I'm proud of myself; my soul respects me more & more because I chose death, but it does not break my discipline & commitment. If you had the option, what would you choose?
Are you men enough to do the hard things?
Until next time,
your man,
Tanmay
