Once I have enough money, I’ll go to fitness. Or to psychotherapy. Or I’ll buy new cabinets for the kitchen. You know what? There will never be enough money. It’s an illusion that one day there will be enough of them to cover all your needs or to “afford yourself.” If you don’t allow yourself now, you won’t allow it later. It’s just that another reason is found. In this “afford”, under the guise of a prudent housekeeper, something insidious is hidden. When we really need to, we adapt, right? We look for options, negotiate, do something to earn more. One way or another, we satisfy our need. Because it already exists now. By procrastinating, we build up the skill of procrastination and it becomes an indirect way of meeting our needs. It’s like, “I’m thinking about this, leave me alone.” And “thinking” itself is a kind of pacifier that is given to a child to calm him down. This is how we learn to do without what we need. And then I got over it, fell in love, got used to it, grew together. Life goes on, new worries appear. And this English, these rights, this therapy and these closets are no longer needed. The desire has worn out, lost its sharpness. Does this mean that it was not real? Just because it didn't survive doesn't mean it didn't exist. They simply chose the path of reduction, reducing the quality of life in order not to change anything. This is also a way. After all, you have copyright on your own life. But if it becomes a habit, it grows into the bones. It is very difficult to get rid of it. And it’s also difficult to notice. One day I caught it by the tail and took a good look at it. This nimble creature assured me that it was taking care of me and was working as a talisman against rashness. Thank you, of course, but maybe there is another way? For example, instead of postponing, confront yourself with the fact. I tried it and the results were very interesting. You sign up for a course, and then somehow you find the money to pay for it. Not by themselves, of course. I! Suddenly I find ways to earn them. Because, firstly, there is no longer a choice, but there is a necessity. And, necessity, as we know, is the mother of invention. Secondly, when you get real benefits and pleasure from what you have purchased, it doesn’t seem so expensive. It becomes worthwhile. And in general, this is an awesome engine of personal progress. Putting off is a way of not changing, not growing, not living fully. And if chairs in the morning mean money in the evening, then whether you like it or not, you will grow, develop flexibility and creative adaptation. The trick was, of course, performed by a professional. But you can try too)
