Being > want

You’re given what you are, not what you want.

You say “I want more money”.
But all day you complain that everything is too expensive, that you have no money.
So you get what you act out – bitter poverty.

You say “I want to have influence”.
But all week you look on in jealousy at the accounts with large following, and make sacarstic comments like “He’s lucky because he has an audience”, focusing on comparing what they have versus what little you had.
So you get what you gossip about – toxic, zero influence.

You say “I want to be fit af”.
But every 31st December you sign up for a gym membership, only to say “I’ll go tomorrow” on 1st January.
So you get what you say, what you put off – fat, unhealthy, low esteem.

You’re given what you are, not what you want.
