Do not postpone for another time

I tried to get away from where I was and observe myself. I tried to understand where I was going, what I was doing, and how I was spending my time. Looking a little out of the box reminded me of something, something I was doing wrong.

What I want to tell in this article is that I realized that I always postponed the things I care about to another time. I keep postponing things like having fun, being happy, loving, relaxing, and traveling for later. And I’ve been doing this for a long time. However, happiness, beauty, peace, and enjoying life are all things that happen at the moment. Other things make us lose today.

From another point of view, I have a “logical” explanation for why I’m doing these things. Nearly 1.5 years ago, I set a goal for myself and went on a long-term journey to definitely change something in my life. I was aware that I had to make many sacrifices after I had determined my route and set off. Postponing happiness, enjoying, traveling, having fun, and love was also great sacrifice for me.

At the same time, it is a good feeling to see my efforts finally pay off and to meet tangible developments.

The lesson to be drawn from here must be balanced. Balance is a very critical phenomenon within the human body, the human spirit, and the human mind. When there’s a tendency, alarm bells start ringing sooner or later.
These alarms went off today, fortunately.
Going unilaterally is something that shouldn’t be done, at least that’s how it was for me.

Do not leave it to the future to have fun, travel, love, and have a good time.
