The escape plan

Everything you do in life is either an escape from your current situation or a means of personal development.

I suggest you always choose the latter.

Often, we consciously or unconsciously choose activities or paths that serve as an escape from our current circumstances. In such instances, it's crucial to pause and assess what we already possess.

Your escape might provide temporary joy, but once it fades, you're left with your existing reality.

This truth holds across all facets of life.

In your professional life, you might pursue side hustles or hobbies to escape dissatisfaction with your main job. However, it's essential to acknowledge and address the root of your discontent.

Similarly, relationships can be sought as a refuge from individual challenges. Yet, when the initial allure fades, it can lead to personal misery and impact the other person involved.

Quick, impulsive decisions made in the heat of the moment may seem like the best option initially. However, they often come back in the long run, revealing themselves as less than ideal.

The moral of the story is to refrain from deciding solely as an escape from your current situation. Instead, invest effort in improving what you already have. This approach ensures a more sustainable and fulfilling life, stronger relationships, and a more satisfying career.

By doing so, you take control of living and building your life the way you want.
