You Need to Hear This If You Feel Defeated

Mike Masters 1 min read Article + video

So many people feel defeated right now, as if the whole world, and every person in their life, is conspiring to knock them out. Usually, it’s life reflecting their own actions back at them.

The ego is at war

When the ego runs your life, you make decisions that only benefit you, without caring how others feel. You’d step on someone’s pain point just to look great in other people’s eyes. The more you live for what people think of you, the deeper you go into the ego, and the more your own dragon controls you.

Then you take everything personally. People shining their own light feel like attacks. And when the consequences arrive, you point fingers at everyone else.

You can only be defeated in a war

If you’re at peace, nobody can defeat you. If you’re at war, you’ll eventually meet someone stronger. Life is bigger than you, and bigger than me.

The key word is selfless. There are many people working for a better future for every living being on this planet. Align with that cause, and life starts working in your favour.

Learn the lesson now

Look at your daily actions. Are they only for a moment of satisfaction? The consequence comes later, like a snake under the sheets, biting when you least expect it. Every breakdown leads to a breakthrough, but you don’t need to get knocked out over and over to learn. Ask yourself today: where are my daily actions taking me? What am I doing with the people I should love? Then do something your future self will thank you for.

Keep going
