Because falling into the trap of doing/getting what you want versus what you need is a curse — or it can be. It’s steering away from what matters that becomes a particular bullseye. It’s just so much easier to reach, and that much more enjoyable. To delay a priority to feel temporarily satisfied — it’s bullshit, and I’m no exception.

Because who gives a damn about what people are up to, how are you feeling, how am I feeling, and what are the plans for the next week? — Apparently, I do. I’m doing it right now as I type this. And for a quick moment I let myself become inferior to my capabilities — that I’m fighting with myself and trying to conquer what’s at stake — my future license. 

In order for me to finish on top, to get that license, to reach that goal — the wants have got to be limited. Stop steering away drunkly to all the unneeded wants of life, and instead drive straight to what you really Need. The most efficient way to get from A to B is a straight line, and quite frankly, I’ve been making more left turns than what’s right. 

I can tell myself this all the time, it’s just a matter of if I can overcome.

I will overcome.

I have overcome.
