The alarm sounds and one more day you open your eyes.
Or one day less.
What else does ...
It's been too long since the days are the same.
You watch the mobile. You already have several unread emails, and that the last time you took a look was just before you went to bed.
Of course, some are from your boss's boss and others from Mr. Trepa, who has sent a couple of them at 2:00 in the morning to show what the boss loves so much: "that he is a business man"
"Go asshole" you think
You're on the way to the record: you've woken up just 3 minutes ago and you've already "conceded" 3 insults.
You decide to drag yourself to the kitchen for a quick breakfast. You make yourself a coffee and gobble a piece of toast while reading an irritating email from your boss.
"You tell him four things" while you brush your teeth.
It is a waste of energy because you know perfectly well that those words will never penetrate the walls of your head.
You say goodbye to your partner without emotion and you leave home.
20 minutes after getting up, you are already inside the car, submerged in traffic.
You turn on the radio to listen to the news.
"These politicians are all a bunch of ..." what you hear is disgusting, but for some reason you feed on it every morning.
You arrive at the office and as if you were a robot, you perform a daily ritual: you say good morning, get a coffee out of the machine, sit down and open your laptop.
10 minutes of routine is enough for you to have more work than with the one you left the day before.
It is like the snowball that enlarges.
It's been a while since you stopped fighting against her. Now you roll together. No more, while it crushes you.
You watch the clock. There are eight hours left. More "the extension".
Release a sigh and pray to heaven that it does not lengthen more than it should
A whatsapp notification takes you out of your conversation with the afterlife.
It is from a friend who sends you a picture from Egypt making a face in front of the Pyramids.
What a bastard! Go life sticks. You think with insane envy.
You wonder what you did wrong: you took the race year by year; they signed you up for a scholarship in a large multinational; you did a master ...
You receive another photo of your friend and you answer him. "You do live your life"
He answers: "Life is to live it, right?"
Then you realize that you have not lived for too long.
You are almost 40 years old and you are "dying" in life
Stripped of your dreams, it's been so long since you've savored life, that you've forgotten to do it.
That you do not enjoy a day for yourself.
That your only contact with nature is to see your boss's gorilla.
That you do not stay with beloved people of all the life.
That with your partner you make war more than love ...
For some reason you assumed that dedicating your life to work was what you had to do to achieve success.
And now that you have it, now that you have reached beyond where you expected, you only feel laziness, nonsense, disappointment ...
You thought being responsible meant giving up your dreams.
And look at you There you are. At your desk wishing to annihilate another day.
Being the gear of an organization that you do not believe in. With no other answer than "pay the bills" when you ask the question, why am I here?
You feel trapped because you do not see how to get out of there.
It's as claustrophobic as being in a coffin. Buried. Unable to do anything.
But do not rest in peace.
Your soul screams from within.
He screams loudly, with anger and despair, waiting for someone to hear him
"GET ME OUT OF HERE!"
Good news! You are not dead yet. There is still a voice that speaks within you.
Surely you have been screaming inside for some time, but for some reason until today you have not heard that voice.
TODAY LIFE OFFERS YOU A SECOND OPPORTUNITY
The opportunity to stop being a dead person in life.
Look through the window.
There are thousands of people out there dedicating their lives to extraordinary things.
Some save lives, others travel the world, others are creating works in this moment that will be remembered for centuries ...
Understand that the true meaning of success is to dedicate your life to something meaningful, that allows you to live with passion and be free.
Look at the bitter of your boss and the rest of the undead among those you meet.
Do you really want to continue like this?
You know that no.
What do you have to do?
Perhaps you have already felt the urge to go out the door without looking back, but there are barriers that prevent you from doing so.
Your fear to be wrong ..
..your financial dependence ..
..your fear to disappoint ..
..your insecurity if you are able to earn a living outside the confines of your company.
It's not easy, no.
But I assure you it is possible.
I went through that labyrinth myself and found the exit.
Asking for help at the beginning when I did not know where to shoot.
Then, once I could see the way, advancing through it with dedication and commitment.
The difference between a new life and staying in your golden cage, lies in whether you will make your barriers new challenges or a lot of excuses.
If you decide that they are excuses, you will remain there.
In your fantastic coffin. Buried in life.
