Nothing spent = something earned.
I am easily led by random temptations all void of focus. As I am too much the marketed consumer of image, the mindlessly willing buyer of sweets and coffees, and I do this in pursuit of some imagined satisfaction I think they will give me. I am the mental slave to the idea of comfort in a coffee cup, and pleasure in a treat.
I sometimes notice the fact that these things have given me no satisfaction, but usually I don't even think about it and carry on with my day, as if I had not just take a useless action.
I consume three coffees and maybe two valueless foods a day, and it costs about 7 or 8 dollars daily; and I get no value in return. I basically consent my earnings to the devils that harm me.
When I walk around with junk in hand I am basically carrying a sign in my head that says 'fool', for being so easy, for not living consciously, unable to be who I want to be. Maybe I should make a real sign and carry it around... I wonder what would happen?
Would I wear it with a stupid grin? Would I bother to even use it at all? Or would I stop the foolishness and walk proud?... As a ground breaker in my own life. No longer fooling myself.
How about if I put away $2 for every coffee I didn't buy, and put it into savings... and $2 for each day that I eat completely healthy. That's $120 a month saved, just by not taking useless actions, now that's a worthwhile practice!
Now, by now, I have already mentally compromised my morning coffee, because I don't buy that... which isn't saving... and its organic... Clearly it will be difficult for me to not fool myself. Pandora's Box is always there waiting to be opened, and I'm easy. So, I ask you folks, please don't let me be easy, be hard on me and help me fulfill my will. I will help you too.
Thanks!
Ryan
