What is Temptation? What are Distractions?
They are nothing but just your Childish Mind wanting to have Fun. It knows no Goals. No Responsibilities. No REALITY. It just wants to ESCAPE... It does not realize that however much you try, you cannot escape Life and Reality just as one cannot escape oneself...
Failure and Regrets?
I have seen failure from up close. And I know this about failure... It occurs because of 2 reasons:
1> Bad Luck - you did your best but you were just not destined to reach there...
2> Lack of Efforts - This is a direct result of one's indulgence in temptations and distractions. You simply did not work hard enough. Period.
In both cases, Failure hurts. But in the first case, you get over the hurt and move on. There are no regrets there because you did your best...
But in the second case, you will feel regret and guilt. I have felt this. And believe me, the hurt of failure is nothing compare to the feeling of guilt and regret.
Temptations and Distractions are not bad. They are just as important in life as Goals and Responsibilities. Its just that there is a time and a place for everything in Life. And all things - work, play, eating, sleeping, loving, living, and even peeing and shitting - are most fruitful and best enjoyed when done at their proper times.
How to overcome Temptations and Distractions?
Is it so difficult to overcome temptations and distractions? No... There is no Will Power or any such fancy thing required to overcome temptations and distractions... It is just a Decision. And your willingness to act upon that decision.
