RE: Stepping Off The Treadmill Of Instant Gratification

in #life6 years ago

People jump from instant gratification to instant gratification thinking that once that thing is attained they will be satisfied but in truth it leads only to disappointment and unhappiness...Once that thing is attained people simply see the next and feel no enjoyment or satisfaction in the last. And so the cycle goes.

In that jump from one to the next and the next, they miss what's in the gaps between...That's where value and true happiness lies though...In the gaps between the things. It's called life, and yet many let it slip by in their pursuit of more and more things.ore shoes, more Facebook likes, more iPhones, more, more, more...

Discipline, ownership, responsibility and letting go of the falsehood that is the feeling of gratification gained from a consumerist lifestyle is often a harder path...But is more genuinely gratifying in the long term.

Just my humble opinion. 😶

Your humble opinion is everything!🙏🏻🌟
Thanks so much for taking the time to write such wise insight!💜 I absolutely agree with you and everything you shared. Most humans spend their lifetime running on the hedonic treadmill without ever realizing that it will never provide them more than short term pleasure. Consuming is just an ego’s false sense of happiness

You're welcome. I like your last line...

Consuming is the ego's false sense of happiness.

Enjoy your weekend.
