Anger kills intelligence. Fear kills dreams. Ego kills growth. Envy kills peace. Doubt kills confidence. Four years ago today, I was lying still in bed and crying because I didn't have the energy to start, nor did I know where to begin. That was a period when I felt utterly pathetic, living as if it were a duty imposed on me by fate. I had to stay in a house I didn't like, share space with people who didn't share my ideals, and work with those I couldn't respect or be inspired by. But no matter how much I hated life, He was always silently loving, protecting, and guiding me. In one way or another, He held my hand and pulled me forward every time I wanted to let go. Now, as Haruki Murakami wrote in "Kafka on the Shore," I can't remember how I managed to fight through those long years or how I survived. I'm not even sure if the storm has really passed. But one thing is certain: when I stepped out of the storm, I was no longer the same person who had entered it. If four years ago, what tormented me most was the fear of unemployment, the murky future ahead, today I had to pass up a very promising collaboration offer to someone else, knowing my own benefits would also decrease. Because I couldn't handle that much work and ensure efficiency for everything. From having no opportunities at all to being able to choose and decline good opportunities, for me, it's a new step in my personal development journey. I'm not saying I've succeeded; I call that entire journey by two words: victory. Victory over laziness, anger, fear, ego, envy, and doubt within myself. And I believe that if I can do it, anyone reading this can do it too. You just need to conquer yourself first, and good things will follow. ## Publication Information - [Haan](https://paragraph.com/@haan/): Publication homepage - [All Posts](https://paragraph.com/@haan/): More posts from this publication - [RSS Feed](https://api.paragraph.com/blogs/rss/@haan): Subscribe to updates ## Optional - [Collect as NFT](https://paragraph.com/@haan/laziness-kills-ambition): Support the author by collecting this post - [View Collectors](https://paragraph.com/@haan/laziness-kills-ambition/collectors): See who has collected this post
