I have this, but I want that..

Temptation by definition means the "act of tempting or the state of being tempted especially in evil." An example of temptation is enticement. Which is to attract artfully or adroitly or by arousing hope or desire. Too often the ideology of success lies in the amount of money, popularity, and labels. People get so wrapped  up in the things they want they forget about the things they have. Often, letting the things they have become the things they had.

Everyone has dreams, but not everybody knows how to make their dream a reality. Why? because people are not willing to put in the work to attain their goal. Everybody wants the "quick come up", but fail to realize the faster things come, the faster they go. Nobody every said success would be easy they said success is worth it. Also, what's not always mentioned is nobody is gonna give you anything, if they do it comes with a price. That price can be paid through your mind, body, or soul.

It's hard not to compromise when you're being introduced to things that you've always wanted. But you still have to remember at the end of the day those things don't belong to you. Their given, and what's given can be taken away. But, what's earned can never be took away from you. As a result,  "To whom much is given much is tested"

More often than not greed begins to take control. People begin to change and devote time and energy into a plan that includes, using someone, hurting someone else, and lowering themselves to be lifted up by the world. But these are the things that are not seen through the lenses of cameras, it's an internal struggle. As a result, the highest  people up , have the lowest self-esteem. Be careful what you wish for!

A message to young girls: There is nothing wrong with wanting the finer things in life. Just make sure you're getting those things for yourself. That new gucci bag feels wayyyy better when you buy it. It's imperative to remember that everything that glitters isn't gold, and just because something sparkles doesn't mean it's a diamond. Also, know the difference between love and lust. it's easy to lust somebody for the things they have. But it's hard to love someone for the things they don't. Love is accepting someone, not tolerating them. One last thing, when a man sees a woman going for her own things he'll want to help, that's fine. However, don't let your dream become his, and hand over the key to your happiness.
