We have a thing called debt. And that debt is classified into different types: emotional debt, career debt, relationship debt, health debt, and social debt. Hindi lang pera ang utang. ’Pag palaging umiiwas sa pagharap ng kailangang harapin dyan, tatambak ang utang, mas rarami. Mas mabigat bayaran sa hinaharap. Minsan, hindi na mababayaran.
Time is often a wasted currency and you can never take it back. We cannot have more time. We are all nearing death. Bilang lang ang oras.
Learned it the hard way.
The next time you are tempted to put off a scary, hard, or difficult task off, here’s what I want you to say yourself:
“I believe that avoiding this will make my life easier. But, in the long-run, I need to remember avoiding this is only going to make life harder.”
Avoiding the task might give you a brief moment of relief. But, all too soon, that will fade, and you will be left with the anxiety that comes from avoiding it—and that’s a feeling that only gets worse with time, building and building and building until you finally deal with the task.
Sometimes, in the moment where we’re tempted to put something off, we need to remind ourselves of the price we pay for avoidance.
