I've done the full time work + overtime + side hustle + long commute. I don't want to knock those who have the motivation to grind. Keep going and achieve your dreams! But life has phases and there are smart and more efficient ways to reach your goals. Also your values may change over time and you may ask one day: "why do I want to be rich"? If the answer is to be free and to be able to do whatever I want with my time, then you may one to either 1) determine when you'll get off the hamster wheel and start enjoying life or 2) may want to take stock of what you have and may be able to take a sabbatical, semi retirement, quit or job or drastically reduce hours and start living life on your own terms. Great video essay. Keep going.
Totally agree! With time, whether we have had the taste of "success" or not, we will question our motivations, our ambitions and what it truly is we want. Once it's clear, which sometimes is what takes the most time, then you can deploy all your energy and effort, talents and gifts towards that goal. And, in the way, enjoy it, at the right pace, taking a minute to smell the roses. Because no day is coming back! Thank you so much!!
I am relieved to hear such things, I had friends in university that took summer courses just to pass certain subjects early. So because of that they learned faster than me and it made me feel terrible, like as if I am dumber than them or something. But hearing this from you made me feel a lot more at ease when I come to understand the phrase "do it at your pace".
Absolutely! In the end, life is not a race. We will learn, hopefully not so late in life, that going faster doesn't mean getting there faster, or happier, or fulfilled. Speed and pace is something we've been fed, but doing it beautifully, with intention, with our hearts, at the right pace is what creates not only flourishing work, but a flourishing soul.
