核心概念
Overcoming the tendency to become the very person one once despised, and reclaiming one's authentic self through self-awareness and conscious decision-making.
要約
The author shares their personal experience of gradually losing touch with their true self and becoming the kind of person they had previously disliked. They describe how they became aggressive, irritated, and frustrated, engaging in the same behaviors they had criticized in others, such as excessive social media use, anger over trivial matters, and lack of physical activity.
The author reflects on how this transformation happened gradually, one habit at a time, as they prioritized comfort or popularity over their core values and desires. They acknowledge the internal struggle of trying to ignore the "humming of their real internal desires" and the guilt-tripping that ensued.
The author emphasizes that despite the unconscious state, one's own consciousness will persistently call for a "wake-up" and a return to one's authentic self. However, the fear of change and the brain's tendency to prioritize distractions can make it challenging to heed this call.
The author shares their personal experience of struggling to write consistently on Medium, attributing it to their belief that they had lost their "spark" and were no longer capable of producing quality content. They explore the role of the brain in creating beliefs and fears that prevent us from doing what we truly want.
Ultimately, the author encourages the reader to answer the call of their consciousness, to confront the reasons behind their avoidance, and to take gradual steps towards reclaiming their authentic self. They emphasize that this journey, though daunting, is not as scary as it may seem, and that by embracing the process, one can find peace, calm, and a renewed sense of purpose.

引用
"The worst thing you can do to yourself is — to become the kind of person you hated."
"Irrespective of how deeply you are unconscious, or lost, your own consciousness will call to WAKE YOU UP. To make you realize 'it's time to find a way back home. A path back to yourself.'"
"If you choose to scroll instead of doing 'what you said you will do,' your brain will then analyze what you consider as important. In every situation, your brain will put distractions and fear as a priority."
