The Physical Debt Always Comes Due
What Most People Fail To Recognize As The Cause Of Their Failures
Written by a human, for humans, always.
When most people think about success and failure…
They often believe that it comes down to the work that they put into it.
If they succeed…
They put in enough effort.
If they fail…
They did not put in enough effort.
But when you stop to actually look at reality…
Pay attention to how things play out in truth and not in just in theory…
You begin to realize…
That success and failure often are not about effort.
Many people put back-breaking efforts into their work…
Over 12-hour days…
7 days a week…
And what do they often get from it?
Little to nothing.
On the other hand…
There are many people who seem to put very little effort into their work…
At least in comparison (they are still working hard)…
But despite less effort…
They also have significantly greater success.
It also changes when we begin to look at the long term instead of the short term.
When you begin to look at longer periods of time…
There are fewer and fewer individuals who succeed…
And continue to succeed at higher and higher levels.
This is why, in many of the highest levels of jobs and careers, the turnover is perhaps worse than at the lower levels.
Burnout.
Mental breakdowns.
Even just the desire for a simpler life.
So…
What is the distinguishing factor?
Our health.
Our bodies.
Our minds.
Our spirits.
The reality is that in the pursuit of success…
So many people make sacrifices that directly impact their well-being.
But…
The physical debt always comes due.
You can put off certain aspects of what it means to be human…
But only for so long.
You can put off sleep…
But eventually, your body will force you to pass out.
You can put off good food…
But eventually, your body will decay, making you unable to perform.
You can put off having a community and building a family unit…
But eventually, you will be crushed in loneliness.
That is reality.
These may not seem significant for success in the short term…
Perhaps in some cases they can be put aside for a time for the sake of progress in an area you are interested in…
But not forever…
Not perpetually.
These different aspects of what it means to be human…
They are necessary…
Whether we want to recognize it or not…
And when we go without them…
They create a debt that impacts us.
The larger the debt grows…
The more the consequences begin to build up.
The difference between these debts and financial debts…
Is that you can at least apply for bankruptcy to make the consequences easier to manage.
With physical debts…
There are no applications for bankruptcy…
Only consequences that you will be forced to face…
Eventually.
How large has your physical debt become?
What will the consequences be?
What most people fail to really understand…
Is that the physical debt they incur…
Can turn their lives into a living nightmare.
I have watched good people who made poor choices in their lives…
I have seen their physical debts accrue…
Until…
Their lives become unrecognizable…
Heartbreaking…
Dispiriting.
When the physical debts came due…
They were unable to pay…
And the costs prevented them from experiencing so many aspects of life.
The physical debt always comes due…
And it may be tempting to take on more debt in pursuit of something you consider great…
But is it really?
What are you sacrificing now to obtain that?
Is it really as important as you believe it is?
I have watched many people…
Sacrifice so much…
To end up with nothing for it all.
The success they chased…
The physical debts they accrued…
Provided nothing for them…
Leaving them broken and decaying at the end of it all…
Having prevented them from obtaining the success they so desperately wanted…
Regretting all of their life choices.
When the physical debt comes due…
Because it always comes due…
What will you be left with at the end of everything?
If you are wise…
You should always pay attention to what physical debts you have…
And ensure that you are quick to repay them…
So that your physical debt does not become the reason you fail to obtain the success you seek.
