You will never get that elusive feeling of happiness. In other words, you achieve your goal only to see that there are now several more goals for you to achieve before you can rest.Įvil loves to keep moving the goal post so you feel this eternity of torture that things will never end. Sign: You finally climb to the top of the mountain only to see several new peaks beyond it that you now must climb. Don’t go for something just to have it, that’s the worst kind of gift to give to yourself and others. Use the people around you as inspiration of where you want to go but check them against the reality of your own life, goals, and mission. Compare yourself to yourself and set your own goals and destinations. How to Stop It: Stop comparing yourself to others. You are the one who determines the value of something.

How to Stop It: Work on remembering and reminding yourself of what your goals are. You’ll get a glimpse of your actual goal for a second, and then a shroud is thrown over you by using your very own “veil of thought” so you’ll never find it again and you’ll get lost amongst the trees. You’re brain thinks it needs something but it’s a false goal and you end up taking a lot of unnecessary detours. This is one of the cleverest strategies used by evil forces is to take you out when you’re on the right track. Sign: You know your goal, but then you start to think of things that you think you need in order to get there, and pretty soon you lose sight of the original goal because you’ve gotten distracted by less important goals.
