The things we love the most often kill us the most as well. Some of the ways the things we love the most kill us includes:
i. It changes your focus from the higher to the lower or lesser: When the things we love the most are negative, they changes our focus and directions towards what we really do not bargain for and as the case may be, we end up going after the lesser important things. The lesser important things do not contribute much in helping us achieving our higher goals.
ii. Spending and wasting much time on less important or unnecessary things: some of the less important things may be corrupt in their nature. These unnecessary things often cause more harm than good. After spending most of our time on these things, we are left with little or no time for the much important things. This is why sometimes, people tend to experience regrets.
iii. Living above ones income: Because of the frequent chasing of our corrupt passions, we tend to spend more than usual. Our daily expenses keep growing than our income. The habit of spending above one’s income is really a bad habit. This habit has led many people into poverty. Living above your income is the same thing as spending your money before earning it. To be on the safer side, we should learn to be moderate in our spending to avoid regrets.
iv. Extravagant spending: One of the way the things we love the most harm us the most is in extravagant spending where people spend their money just to show off to impress other people negatively. It is carelessly spending money without strict rules of conduct. It is a way of living expensive lifestyle. The Prodigal Son comes to mind here. What was the result of such spending habit? Your answer is as good as mine POVERTY.
v. People stop chasing their dreams: The things we love very well can make the people chasing them to stop chasing their dreams most especially when those things are the negative ones. The truth is that when you are going after the things you are not supposed to go after, it will surely affects you as such negatively. There are many people are outside there who could not chase their higher purposes just because they pursue more of their corrupt interests. This is happening every day. Success is tied to our daily actions.
vi. The wrong direction or paths: As we go about our daily businesses and activities, most people often go in the wrong directions. They are not sure of the path they following. Many are on the wrong path but are thinking they are on the right path. The things we love most tend to change the path we are supposed to follow and that is why many people are on the wrong way but never know about it. The more you go the way, the more harm you will face. Although, there are momentary enjoyment here and there but what follows those enjoyment is long term sufferings.
vii. They cause delay in taking necessary actions: When you are doing things which you love, you may not know that they are affecting you negatively. You will find that all your attentions are directed towards those things you love doing. This does not make them to be the correct things. AS a result of going after those things you love and which are negative, you will be experiencing delay in taking meaningful decisions about your life.
viii. People waste their chances or opportunities: Right in their palm, most people waste their opportunities because of the negative things they love the most. When they are supposed to take their chances, they were in love with the things they love the most and as a result of their inactions to take actions, they allowed certain chances to sweep out of their palms.
ix. Many people avoid doing the right things: The right things sometimes may not be the things people love the most. For example, some of the work people are supposed to do and be doing are very difficult in nature while some are simple. Most people always love the works that are simple and try to avoid the hard ones. The fact that most people love the simple works does not mean they are the best options. And because most people tend to avoid the hard works they as well missed the benefits of not doing the hard ones. In most cases, the easy things are not necessary the right things.
x. Waste their hard earn money and could not invest it: In the cause of doing what they love the most, most people tend to waste a lot of their hard earned money carelessly without taking notice of the consequences that will come after. The Prodigal Son wasted all his hard earned money on the things he loved the most and thereafter what happened to him was heart break, undue sadness, regrets and guilt and poverty and was unable to put food on his table.
xi. People give up on their dreams: The things that people love the most can make people to give up on their dream because if they considered those things to be the main things when they are actually not the main things, they will go after them with all their minds and hearts and as a consequences of these their actions, they totally give up their cherished purposes.
The things that people love the most sometimes may not be the main things or the right things. For these reasons, people should be mindful of what they are loving the most.
