the power of purposes

Sometimes, oddly, people are inclined to sink into the quagmire of addictions on their own. I mean addictions to stuff like drugs, alcohol, Internet, and so on, or I could say addiction to negativity or hopelessness of themselves. I had suffered from this much.

Neither a will, nor a hope, nor a dream may help them out in those situations.

And I think I have just reached my own answer to this.

What is important would be find a purpose and take a small step.

I’d like to mention this is true in the situations where an intuition doesn’t work.

As long as we do this, I realized that we could decrease the possibility to be dragged into that quagmire. Off course, this does not mean you try to get addicted “to avoid the reality”. But here, you don’t even need a will, a vague and insecure thing to sustain yourself.  

We can take the first step like take a walk, read a book, or talk to someone to learn something, have a fresh air, make money, or whatever. And talk to ourselves it’s alright if we are almost on the right track.

In hindsight, we tend to regret of doing something because of the lack of their purposes. And there is a tendency for us to be convinced more easily by purposes to step out of the quagmire we found by ourselves. (Self-justification happens the same way though.)

But, as for the long span of our lives, our habit to find purposes to get something done would help ourselves get out of that tough situations more quickly.
