Sometimes... attention can be a very dangerous thing. Oh wait! It's not sometimes, but all the time.
The need for attention just makes you crave for more and more attention without getting you to think if that attention is something necessary for you or not.
You see, the senses likes attention. It can be a concern or friendly type of attention but it can also be a sexual type of attention. And attention distracts you from your goals and leads you into a downwards cycle which is negative growth. Because attention gets you to be PEIS.
P - Physical senses looks at someone giving you the attention.
E - Feel important and you create an illusion of happiness.
I - You start believing that you should get more attention so that you can be happy.
S - You believe you are faithed to meet these people.
But here's a question. What happens if these attention is pulled away from you? What would you do?
For most people, they would crave for more. You may not even realize it but you would start gravitating to those who can give you more attention. Even if that person may distract you from your goals, that wouldn't matter to you because at that point of time, your senses would say, just do anything you can to keep that attention coming to you. Even if it means, losing yourself along the way.
Like a lot of us like having casual texts with the opposite gender though it has nothing related to our goal. Some stranger or a friend asking something as lame as "Have you eaten?", has got nothing to do with your goals.
Unless it is someone who's helping you with your growth, asking if you have eaten maybe because you were not very well for the past few days.
But other than that, that kind of random chats is what distracts you from your goals by heightening the attention seeking quality in you. This kind of conversations in turn would end up sooo long that you would feel like you know this person for ages. But let me tell you this, that belief is plain bullshit because as long as you want attention, you and that person can mask yourselves however you want so that you can continuously get more attention.
How do I know this? I've done this, of course!
But here's the thing, if I don't correct this kinda thoughts, I would end up getting the wrong kind of attention that interferes with my goals.
So, why wait till I get into trouble?
I'd rather switch to SIEP and get my senses under my control. I'm not there yet and that's why starting early is a better option.
