My life mantra: make sure what you're chasing in life doesn't destroy you.

Make sure that what you're chasing in life doesn't destroy you, it's a mantra I say to myself and my friends in whatever I am doing in life to not get carried away or obesessed with whatever I'm chasing in my life or trying to earn cause these days many of us tend to do anything to get to a particular place or to acquire a certain material, we don't know where we go from there, who we hurt by our actions or words on our way there, we care about nothing other than that particular position we want to get to or material we want to acquire, we're struggling for, we'll do every single thing to satisfy ourselves without caring about others or thinking of our next step from there especially when it comes to money we humans would do anything for money we're not ready to be patient and wait for God we want the money now during the process of chasing money without focus little would we know that we're slowly killing ourselves and most of the time when you finally get what we've been chasing for so long and lost focus on every other thing it's mostly nothing but regret we find up there it's either it wasn't as good as we expected or something else it's perhaps too late cause we'd have been dead already, you'll basically be living on the outside but dead in the inside, there's no soul to enjoy what we sacrificed everything for, what's left of you would be a broken and lost soul and trust me it's almost impossible to arrange the broken pieces of your soul and finding your way back is even harder. "a patient dog eat the fatest bone", in the sense that patience in the face of adversity would be rewarded, it's never failed and can never fail I'm talking to you from experience, do the right thing and wait your time would certainly come!
