Then you have to acknowledge the consequences of your own action of being vulnerable to addictive temporary pleasures.

CONSEQUENCES OF MOMENTARY HAPPINESS/PLEASURES

• You will forget who you want to become.

• Abusing time – Time associated with age & value of money and opportunities just pass by you just like a wink.

• Making no progress in life as it prevents you from making self-improvement.

• As you are so comfort being comfortable you would have lost your sight to step up further in your life.

• No room for growth and it holds you back.

• It kills your phenomenal potential inside and have had very bad effect on your abilities to accomplish the things you set out to achieve.

Since the consequences of these actions doesn’t let’s you experience the results instantly. You can unconsciously ignore them. On the contrary some actions have its immediate consequences and lets you experience the results immediately. So now you are so cautious about them.

For Example:

1. You don’t touch the fire coz you know the immediate result of it is burning & pain.

2. You don’t jump from the building coz you know the immediate result out of it was death.

One who had serious intentions, goals, & vision always experience a very great pain of disappointment and worry when days are just ended up with no productivity in addition to having habituated to entertainment , fun and bad habits , on the other side one who don’t have any aspiration and desperate desires just marry the temporary bodily & mind pleasures by choice whether consciously or unconsciously. These persons don't experience any disappointment and worries as these guys have fixed mindset who always seeks deadly comfort in whatever they choose to do , they avoid risk and build wall against their growth and self-development. For this kind of persons the stuff in this article doesn't influence them as they all were comprised and label themselves with mediocre, poor, incapable.

Now let’s come to temporary pain, temporary pain comes out when you are just step out of your comfort zone and working up on the things you want to achieve. It’s just not simply that, it demands sacrifices of bodily & mind pleasures and abandonment of relationships for temporary period of time if situation demands. Now it’s up to you whether you are prepared for embracing this temporary pain or not after consideration of the fact that whether the undergoing of pain is worthy for your future. Here the pain means referring to the pain only comes out of your uncomfortable zone where you push yourself very hard to get things done without any excuses.

one who consciously perform his action by his own choice won’t suffer unlike the one who do compulsively.

Examples of when you suffer from the pain

• When you have to study for long hours and with consistency.

• Waking up early morning (say-5AM) & in having bath.

• Physical exercises & workouts.

• Sacrifices of giving up entertainment, joy, parties, movies, games, social media, girls just temporary period of time.

NOTE: - This is not exhaustive list.

If you think this way , you have only one life and which is very limited then you should have prioritize your total life time(say average 68 years) in to blocks and label them with your strong wishes & intentions, then you will be wondered to see how short your life is, now in order to fully accept the temporary pain which underlies in challenges and great endeavours you have to realize that say block:- Age 19-25 is the only maximum period where you can and will have to mostly suffer from the pain when compared to other blocks in order to make up a successful career .This way of thinking and clarity will liberate your mind to embrace the fact the way it is. This mindset helps you to prepare yourself for taking charge of your life no matter what bad situations & circumstances come in your way.

Here the main emphasis is not about avoiding the pleasures completely out of your life but consciously by your choice at least for some period of time up to where you have built up a successful career.

Now it’s your choice to choose the option of temporary happiness or temporary pain. if you choose the option temporary pain over temporary happiness then you must have to realize the importance and consequences that makes you be adoptable to temporary pain.
