Statics shows that there has been way high number of depressed people in this century compare to the ancient times, worst of all, it keeps rising progressively each blessed year. The big question is, what could be the problem?
It's very clear, times are getting more difficult but plainly caused by the people themselves. The greediness of a man knows no end, the wickedness inside the heart of man is gross and unimaginable. People are more concerned about themselves and hardly support one another. The world has even make it look normal to forget about even your close door neighbor because everyone is super busy with themselves. I understand competition is more high, survival has become extremely difficult, too many problems with so much confusions about which one start solving.
I think if we address some of the problems in the world from the root, we will experience a better life. Imagine people being concerned about just feeding themselves and family, without having to pile up riches for the next 20 generations to come. There will be less competition and more jobs for people to do in the country.
Lately I've been pushing hard to take away my mind from things that takes away my joy; anxiety, ungratefulness, impatience and fear of the unknown are some of the weapons fashioned against my country youths. I mean, it's not easy staying somewhere around here but we can really do a lot to control all of these. I learned not to make money be the only most important thing I'm looking for in my life. I learned how to build good relationships with people and focus on those little things that mater but we never pay attention to them lately.
Money is good but if you want to loose yourself quickly, love money excessively. Look for money but don't let money control how you talk to people, how you view people and relate with them generally. I focus on my health and chase the money gradually. Whenever I get overwhelmed by the challenges, it's more safer for me to train by lifting weights on doing light exercises than smoking cigarettes and drinking beer. I'm intentional about my health and physique, I know that money is very crucial for a good living. You need money to finance virtually everything materially in your life but making it the bases of living is like not living at all.
It's not easy out there but I value and cherish the real good connections I've been establishing lately with few amazing people around me that matters. I focus on building a healthy lifestyle then find my means around how to set myself financially free from financial burdens. By the time I finally get to settle down financially, I hope I don't become sick and unable to take care of my family, I hope that's not the period I'll be struggling to build connections and genuine relationships with people. There's so much more advantage to doing that now than procrastinating them till when financial breakthrough comes, sometimes you never even get to recover even with the loads of money you might have secured at the end of the day.
