Hello, dear Steemians!
There is a dangerous tendency among a group of particular people that I want to address in today’s blog post. Nowadays, the concept of self-sabotage is not a strange thing to hear.
Self-sabotage is a hazardous mentality that can leave you with a ruined life, where every slight of joy descends to a state of agony and fear, and where every drop of happiness is paid with the piety of our constant need for pain.
These words might have eerily confused you, but this phenomenon is more common that you would care to imagine.
What is self-sabotage? It is not strange to believe that human beings are constantly in search of happiness and tranquility.
Their contentment is measured by their expectations of how the world should treat them and how well they should do in their own personal life.
But a lot of us often deliberately do things that may not be in our best interest. We burn down the bridges behind us, destroy our relationships, and do things that we know are harmful to our personal and social health.
All the while, we know that acting in such drastic ways is not in any way good for us.
We push people away and destroy the possibility of healthy relationships before they are even started. We leave people, before they have a chance to leave us.
How do you justify this tendency?
What inner force compels some of us to act like this and do things that are not good for us?
This is the idea known as self-sabotage.
A lot of people are afflicted with behavior like this. They might not even know why they are doing it, but it is a factual ascertainable mentality in today’s society.
The main reason behind self-sabotage is our longing for pain. As said earlier, human beings are naturally attracted to things that are either beautiful or make them happy. All their lives, they are seeking happiness and joy, little do they know that their nature speaks of something other than that.
We have known pain, ever since we were small children. We have understood that as this is a life of joy and happiness, it is also one of suffering and pain.
So, we are constantly seeking that pain over and over again. For some of us, it is the only true thing that we have ever known.
Take a look at pessimistic people and how they approach their lives.
They are always thinking of worst-case scenarios in every situation. When asked why, they simply claim that thinking of the worst possible outcome will not leave them with emptiness and disappointment.
For them, hope is like the Achilles’ Heel that will eventually destroy them if they allow its existence in their minds.
The same could be said about self-sabotage. When you make sure that you ruin your opportunities, life cannot surprise you again.
To be hopeful is to understand that nothing is ever absolute, and anything is possible. You have as much chance succeeding as you have failing.
For some people, it is difficult to understand the truth of that fact. They simply prefer to ruin their chances, because they can do it with utter certainty.
That way, they always have control on what happens to their life. For these people, the idea of unimaginable is almost unbearable.
Come to solitude and peace with yourself. Life is difficult, and pain is inevitable. But you should never be afraid of it. Embrace your opportunities, and accept the truth of fate and chance.
This way, you may not be in control of what life has in store for you, but you will always be happier and more satisfied with who you are and what you are doing, as opposed to constantly and deliberately missing your opportunities and burning down your bridges because the truth might seem unfair.
A BIG HUG!
