It comes with a Price

Every lil success that we have in life always comes with a price. For one, you can't have a great career and a perfect love life at the same time.

In some cases that you already have a family it is hard to maintain a great career while making sure you get good relationship with your family.

A position or promotion can be demanding which sometimes causes your family to have a gap especially if you do not have good communication plus no one would try to reach out either because of ego or just because other members of the family were busy as well with their own lives.

FAME

Before you could even get there you would have to suffer lots of sleepless nights, perform or think of any other strategies that would make you known in a way that people would not get bored and will always be thrilled. Be it a vlogger or content creator or an artist be it in the field of theatre, hollywood or painting.

I always believe that we have different intelligence. One can excel in Academe while the other can excel in arts, talent, sports and the likes.

Then here comes some bashers. We really could not please everyone so as you become famous other trolls or people would bring you down. That is how it works when you go up some people you will meet would do their best to drag you down. Crab mentality at its finest.

Some artists we know could have been raped or sexually abused by producers, directors before they got theirselves in a pedestal. I believe you know some? Just won't name names since I haven't seen an article to refer to but I have read some artists in Hollywood or local who admitted it.

RICH

Being rich could sound so appealing and of course it is everyone's dream. You will be lying if that never ever comes to your mind! What if I am rich?, What if I can buy whatever I want? Yeah?

But being rich as well comes with a price. For one, if you have not been able to establish good relationship to people around you then it is hard for you to know when a person is true to you because you would only know who is indeed concern or real to you when you are in a crisis or when something happens.

Sometimes I get to thank the struggles that I have in life because it let me know who are my real friends.

POSITION: POLITICS or SUPERVISORY

Politics is a demanding job for those who performs (if you know what I mean).

Moreover, as what I have mentioned above, having a position would also mean you have to sacrifice things like unable to celebrate birthday with your fam because you would have to attend a meeting, being on call even when on leave because you know you might be needed anytime. I have know a Manager who despite being on leave still sends email and reports.

I don't think we have this so called peace of mind if that is the case. But this would totally depend as to how a person manage stress and how their family members understands their absence or focus.

Being career oriented and family oriented at the same time are sometimes hard to handle. We would have to sacrifice one for the other and as what I have said we can't have it all.

One may not have a good career but has a good relationship toward his or her family while on the other hand one could have a great career but less time to spend with family.

...end thoughts...

We just gotta know our priority and focus on the betterment of our situation. Chase for your dreams, just do not forget to hold tight with your love ones or maybe remind them to hold you tight while you are busy securing the future.
