Your Inner Thief

Every waking moment you must be on guard against your lesser self. It is so easy to allow your lesser self to win the battle and pull you into the world of empty pleasure--that second bowl of ice cream, that third drink, that eight hours of Netflix, or those three hours of web surfing when you should have been focusing on some more meaningful task. Your job in life is to defeat that creature that loves everything that is easy and right this minute. This is not happiness or satisfaction, but something small and empty. Stand guard against your inner thief, who is always there, for he is capable of taking your entire life one empty minute at a time. Stand guard.
