Work (And don't forget to rest)

You are a human being, remember?

Remember that you have to take care of your health before anything else. This includes, of course, both your physical health and your mental health. This might sound easy on paper, but in practice, one of the hardest things, especially in a world that seems obsessed with building a lot of wealth, producing, and working yourself to death, is making time for yourself. This does not refer in any way that you should think about becoming a lazy person with no ambitions. It simply means that you should not let yourself be eaten up by the pace of life in today’s world. Yes, money is a “necessary evil”, because without it we could not have access to many things that are necessary for our subsistence, but we do not have to let money become your only motivation in life. Work hard enough to feel good about yourself, but remember that you are a human being, and as such, you have the right to rest and do what you feel is necessary to feel good about yourself. What if I don’t deserve it? What are you saying? Everyone deserves to feel good about themselves, no matter your past, no matter what happened to you yesterday. Love yourself very much, and understand that all the great things in life take a process, so work for what you dream of, but without getting so tired that you don’t have time to enjoy your achievements.
