Life is like a marathon, some people run relentlessly, while others are used to stopping. When they run again, they mistakenly think they're fighting hard.
In this fast-paced world, we are often pushed by life, busy day after day, as if we can never stop.
Over time, we start to get used to this life and stop thinking about why it is happening. When we suddenly stop one day and try a little harder, we think we're trying.
This psychological phenomenon is not uncommon. It stems from our numbness and inertia in life. When we are in a state for a long time, we gradually adapt to this state and become dependent on it.
When we try to change this state, we create a kind of stress in our psyche because we are upsetting the original balance. To alleviate this stress, we unconsciously exaggerate our efforts.
We think we're working hard, when in reality we're just working a little harder than usual. This exaggeration not only helps us relieve the stress in our hearts, but it also makes us feel that we are important because we are putting a huge effort into something.
However, this thinking is not healthy. It can cause us to demand too little of ourselves and prevent us from truly reaching our potential. At the same time, it can also cause us to lose sight of the real desperates, those who are always working tirelessly and constantly challenging themselves.
Therefore, we should learn to put our efforts in perspective. We should realize that real desperateness is not a momentary passion, but a lasting perseverance.
It is only when we truly recognize this that we can step out of the shadow of laziness and meet the real challenge.
