Are the ‘harmless’ risks worth it?

phone

We live in a time where almost anything can be obtained within an instant or, at most, a couple of days. Want a new outfit? Hop onto your phone and it can be delivered to you within 3 hours. Want a new job? Apply online within minutes. Most things can also be done privately from the screen on your iPhone. This means that there are unlimited opportunities available to us. However, as always, there are responsibilities and dangers that come with these opportunities. Does ordering takeout from your phone support or risk your goals for health? Does buying that new ‘it’ thing from a link in Facebook align with your budget goals for your property deposit? How about your chats with people who aren’t your partner in Snapchat? Is that flirtation worth risking your existing relationship with your significant other? These questions are important and should be at the forefront of our minds when we handle our instant gratification. Temptation is around, but we must be stronger than it if we want to succeed in all areas of life.
