"Don't lose yourself in the process." - what if it’s not losing yourself in the process, but metamorphoses that change you and take you to a completely different level?
In any process, you learn something and acquire new skills, which makes you, at a minimum, better professionally.
We now live in a world where we are busy making money and making ends meet. We have to in order to survive. The competition is so high that sometimes we lose ourselves in that process. We are busy making a successful life so that no one related to us won't suffer. Having a decent bank balance, having a property or having a car. Working to the extreme to make that dream come true.
Not a single dream comes true if you don’t work and make an effort. Or did you want to find an easier way?
But in that process, are we giving enough attention to our surroundings? People close to us or our loved ones, are we giving enough time to them? When we are gone, what will they say about us? Or even if someone left us forever, will we have enough memory to remember them?
If you
giving enough attention, but wouldn't ask these questions. If you think that you don’t spend enough time with your surroundings, then start spending more. Why complain about it?
Earning money and being successful is important in life. But never forget who you are and the people around you. Money is not everything. It is important to survive but make sure to take some time to bond with people around you. It will also help reduce the anxiety or stress that you are having because of all that work.
Resources vary. Monetary is one of them, but there is also a human resource, which, like money, requires spending time and effort to obtain.
If your job involves a lot of anxiety and stress, you may want to consider looking for a new job. Why do you need a job that harms your mental state?
Trust the process, you will be successful one day for sure. But never lose your own soul in that process.
Not everyone achieves success, but those who don’t try, in principle, achieve nothing.
