Do The Things We Love.
Basically, we want to do only the things we love. But since modernization is ruled by high lifestyles and financial hardship has become more evident, it has led many of us to sell self-indulgence for some unworthy monetary value.
Several times I also often forgot the essence of "enjoying life" when I was working hard because there were several financial goals I wanted to achieve. Fortunately, I remembered again that I had to prioritize the essence of "enjoying life".
Indeed, it is easy to say "do the things we only love". Not everyone is lucky to do that. But it all starts with the life choices of each person.
Are we committed to only doing the things we enjoy, or are we willing to do things that make us uncomfortable, but we earn a lot of money? It is the choice of each of us.
Distinguish Between Improving Skills and Doing Things That Make You Uncomfortable
There are things you have to do, but they are for the positive side of your life, to improve your skills.
On the other hand, there are things that you shouldn't do, because you don't need those things for your life, but you just do them because you want to increase your finances.
If the things you are doing are only to add to your financial side, but you feel increasingly forced and do not enjoy it at all, you should stop it. Some things cannot be replaced with money, and the enjoyment of your life should not be lost just because you are busy wanting to get financial freedom.
Financial Temptations and Illusions of Happiness
Time will never get back when time is gone. The things you do not enjoy are just a waste of time, and your life goes by, perhaps in vain.
We may be stuck with the illusions of happiness and money. We may think we can find timeless happiness if we have lots of money. There is a point. But it is determined by how committed you are to yourself in the first place.
If in the first place you fail to commit to the good things in your life, forever in the future it will only be you working for money and other people. You will fail to "enjoying life" if you fail to commit yourself.
So, if you are working hard to make your dreams come true right now, make sure you enjoy them. If not, you can be sure that you are just waiting for the time to bring too much stress to your life and failing to enjoy the essence of life itself.
These writings are part of a reflection of my daily journeys to face failure and to be grateful for anything to be grateful for.
