Justifying The Wrong Things With The Right Reasons; The Comfort Zone Of Underachievers?

It's often queer when people try to justify their adulterated point of views. One thing is, sometimes people see things from their perspective and because they feel their perspective is relatable to someone else they cement their stances as something right, justifying it with the wrong reasons. For example downplaying the need for insurance or investment simply because you feel insurance or investment is generally flawed is the wrong justification for a person who rather eats all their cake rather than place a futuristic plan for part of it.

The truth is, life is risk and risk is life and if you say having investments is risky, is not going out everyday on it's own a risk? is alcohol and excessive drinking not a risk to one's lifespan itself? One ironic thing is, almost everything we do daily is a risk because we do not the outcome of most venture we dabble in, we just dabble in it, semi-confident that it'll turn out right or well without understanding the circumstances that'll determine the end result. How ironic is this? That you fear things that are risky but don't fear things that have the plausibility of risk?

I don't like differentiating success and failure, but truth is eventually everyone needs to have a long-term goal, a goal that covers futuristic aspects. Truth is, some people don't think it's essential to have a goal, they just want to live average, live everyday as it comes by and live in the chain of mediocrity. I'm not saying this is wrong what I'm saying is, justifying that this is the right or idea approach towards life is totally wrong. Everyone eventually do what they think is right but at the end does your choices brings you satisfaction when you see how great the choices you refused to make turned out well for the people that made them?

If the answer is no, then eventually you've been wrong entirely. One thing is, sacrifice is essential I believe in vision and I believe in hardwork because this differentiates people hugely. So justification of the wrong things with the right things will only make sense to the originator, but in general perspective your angle of looking at how risky things like investment are will make you feel right at everytime but then you'll only remain stagnant because you're never subjective with your reasoning. Truth is, i don't always look at things from a stable point of view because life itself isn't stable and so our reasoning shouldn't be stable as well.

So I often silently state my stances because no one wants to admit they're wrong and making people see how wrong they are makes you their enemies. So I'm a person who's hungry to achieve and sometimes this makes people think I'm a fool. In essence I know when I'm wrong and sometimes it's often alluring to justify how wrong we might have been but the truth is that, being wrong and accepting it is the first step to accepting ideas that will change the mindset. Don't mince it, if you want to achieve or be an achiever, dwelling on the comfort of your mindset is wrong and will never get you there.
