The speed of this era is one to be considered too fast , may be its due to the computer 💻 era, internet boom 💥 and that of the age group who mostly follow the eras trends called the Jenzy Baddies. For this age group everything is normal, sweet and beautiful because its like in the area of fashion and styling where designs come and goes. All this are all about trends and timing ⏱.
Living in this type of world 🌎 and seeing how fast paced all these things are going gives one lots of concern because Innovation which is the idea to change has constantly continued to make things move faster than expected. Its very exhausting to those who can not keep up with the pace and trend, but to those who believe that Innovation is the best thing the world needs, they see it as nothing even though humans are suffering while trying to keep up with this fast pace.
Its so draining and so exhausting to see many hustling too many things at the same time because of how flamboyantly they want to live and spend, or tying to combine 8:00 to 5:00 🕔 with some other businesses knowing it will definitely involve so much energy both physically, mentally and even emotionally. Why will a human work from 8:00am to 5:00pm, then head to his or her outlet of side business where he/she will stay till about 10:00pm. He/she will head home, then tomorrow is another day. This is too way overboard and lots of stress to just make some extra income.
How about the saying “its not how far, but how well”, And this is my pace of focus. The need to have a focus and giving it my best.
When I had my first daughter while still working, I thought I will be able to keep up with the job because its a job I have been in for about 8 years then as a spinster. I did not also went to stay off work yet as a house wife, so I tried juggling it. But I could not continue after a while because of the health of my baby. My emotions were affected which lives me with no choice. My next option was to give up on the job for few years, have my children and until their first school age, with the help of my mother then, I went back to work. This is realizing the need to slow ones pace for the sack of ones well- being . And for me this is not laziness but an action due to circumstances beyond one’s control.
Although things have really changed a lot when it comes to responsibilities. Then the cost of living was still reasonable, and the need for a woman supporting the family is not as it is now. Cost of living has also tripled when taking things back then because Innovation that brought change has basically changed everything into fast pacing movements 😀 in the bid to meet up with diversification. Mostly, the pressure we go through to be able to meet up and be in the trend is costing us a lot most especially physically and mentally.
I believe in slow pace lifestyle which helps us to stay on focus and healthy. When we over work the body, we definitely will bear the consequences. We may enjoy all we are getting as extra income but the days will be counting for a brake down. We should also know that the world 🌎 is in circle ⭕️. The system will continue for generations to come. The best we could do for ourselves is to slow down , take a break and enjoy every focused pace of a lifestyle, creating memories from the things we do and be happy with life. Its definitely not “how far but how well” because many will suffer to labour but will not be alive to enjoy their labors when they are ought to.
All images are mine.
