Let's continue to Grind but take a Rest

Good evening dreamers!! How's your weekend so far? Despite on the struggles and unexpected happenings that we've encountered today, I hope that you able to take a rest. Let's still enjoy and be positive in life!

I realize that as we grow older, maybe when we hit 20s, we tend to realize that we need to do something in order to help our family in terms of financial matters. We realize that having money is necessary, maybe it can't buy everything but it can help us to survive. We tend to identify the importance of having it, maybe not too much but at least enough amount for us to make a living. Responsibilities getting bigger, so we opt to work for making money.

I was riding on the jeep earlier going to the University. As I watching over the window, I saw different people struggling on the road. Those people maybe ordinary in our eyes because we often see them on the street but behind it, it's another story to tell for sure. There's a street sweeper who didn't mind the hotness of sun because she have children to support. On the other side, there is a street vendor who waits for the customers to arrive. He don't mind how long he waits for few customers because what's important for him is to grind and work in order to have a money to buy food for their dinner. Those are the few that I notice earlier, they seem normal to us but there's actually a big obligation behind their back. Seeing their sweat faces reminds me of those days that we also experience that kind of life. They all need to work hard in order to make their family alive.

Even though that we eat 3 or sometimes 4x a day, I can still say that we are not born having a silver spoon. My parents specifically my Dad needs to work in Manila to support me and my siblings. It's so hard to grow up without a father in my side. Although he is only hours away from us, I barely saw him. Sometimes, only Christmas and sometimes he didn't make it to go home on my birthday. As an innocent kid who don't understand life deeply, I tend to get mad on him because I thought that he only make excuses. But as I grow older, I realize that he choose to live faraway from us in order to support us financially. It's not easy for me but I believe that it is harder for him. It's just sad that when he finally decided to live with us, he suddenly feel weak then he died. I regret those times that we didn't bond with him but I'm thankful because of his sacrifices, here I am, gradually achieving my dreams.

For us especially for those parents, we opt to think a ways on how to earn money right? We work and grind as much as we can because we have the goals for ourselves and most especially for our kids. It's hard decision but sometimes we choose to try our luck to other country or to other places in order to give them comfortable life. But now, I will be the one who asked you if you are okay?If you truly get a rest that you are longing for so long? I hope that in this world where money is important, you still didn't forget to take a rest and breathe for a while. Even robot and cellphone need to recharge if they became lowbat, who we are to ignore the word recharge or rest?

"Destroy the idea that you have to be constantly working or grinding in order to be successful". Yes we need to work but we should not offer our whole life for it, there's actually a lot that life can offer to us aside from it. It's so exhausting working for nth time, it seems killing us from the inside. It is not bad to pause or have a break sometimes especially when you know that your health might be at stake of it. I know several successful people who also took a rest after working in a day. Honestly, some of them even say that they became successful because they take a rest before thinking and grinding again. Don't be too hard on yourself. I know that we all aim to become a financial stable or to attain financial freedom but I also advice you to that also take care yourself as how you to treat your work seriously. Earning money is important but taking yourself is much important because if we became weak, all of the money we had gradually depleted or worst it will be gone. So let's continue to grind but let's also take a rest.
