Your Folly is Your Distraction

Yes, I confess that I am distracted by the enchantment of the world’s unique and characterful people and their activities.
I know it will not help me grow. But, still, there is some kind of magnet that attracts me to wonder in the jungle of people. My heart knows it is not good for me in the long term.
But I like to get distracted.
It is a big thing. I know. But I like it this way. I like to be unknown, and under the shadow of people and see them, they are growing. I am not. I questioned myself almost every day. Even today.
When I explored my core, I found that I was afraid. I am afraid of getting judged. I am afraid of failing. I am afraid of chasing my dream. My heart always knew this.
But my mind always convinced me that “it’s nothing”.
And you know. I agreed. I never tried to question my mind and its reasoning.
My mind always says to me:
You can never achieve anything in your life. You are unworthy. People out there are educated, and skilled, have diplomas, degrees, PhDs, and several other achievements with an exceptionally strong financial background.
What do you have?
Nothing.
