What's in it for you?

Starting something needs motivation. But this motivation is ain't enough for you to finish it. In fact the only purpose of motivation is to get you up and not running. Running is what you have to do.



Running physically drains your energy. When the target is clear in mind, you will come back and do it tomorrow, if not today.

The fact is clear in your mind. That you are getting better. You can feel the change between yesterday and today. Hence you can safely predict when you will reach your target.



Life is a long run. It has multiple targets. You can start but never know when it will end. The end is sudden. It is unexpected. Once you cross the required threshold, you won't believe, that tomorrow, it's the end. But that's if your lucky. In most cases, you are already working on the next target. The end of the previous one oblivious to you.



What are we working for? What are these targets? Is it actually worth the effort?

Surely sometimes your mind challenges you with these questions. How do you answer them?



Being answerable to yourself is first priority. If you can't convince yourself, you have lost the battle.



Whenever questions arise or another case when you are convinced but things are not working the way it should; you doubt yourself. At that point connect to your values and then answer. The answer will be accurate. You will be clear about what's in it for you.



NoFap is challenging not because it's a battle against our-self but we say it's a battle against ourselves. Ask yourself now. What's in NoFap for me? Answers such as it will cure [insert name of disease] or it will help me get laid or it will make me a girl magnet are invalid.



The reason is when you die, you think of the people you loved. At that point you would be happy to recollect the fact that you succeeded in NoFap for them.
For yourself. You die a free man. Not an addict. In short, a better human being.



So gentlemen, we are doing NoFap to become better human beings. Free in spirit. Right now it will sound lame. No superpowers? Yes, no superpowers. But inside you know that you are whole. You have conserved your values. You are not killing yourself every other day.



Values are it, gentlemen. When you leave them, you are reduced to a walking, talking, eating machine.



Personal Experiance:



I was in NoFap four years. During these four years, I had targets. I wanted to do NoFap to meet them.



That's why I had to do this for four years.



The last time I relapsed, I didn't like the way I made my life into. I didn't like me. Mostly since I am a spiritual guy. Values are even more important to me. So that's it.



I did it for conserving my inner values. Now my inner values are my strength.



Live for your values. Values make it worth living.
