The Road To LIFE JOURNEY
Every Weekdays or even 24/7 we live like that of a rat in a cage inside the Laboratory.. Which they always called it a "rat race experiment". We may never know but we live life like that rat trying to escape from the cage. You may say, Oh~~~ not me... But let me just check it with you how this rat race similar to our life. Everyday you race to work, to do shopping, to cook dinner, do some dish/clothes washing
or a bit of cleaning and then quickly to bed because you have to repeat
it all again the next day.
If you work at home, the border lines might
be a bit more blurry, but still it will be similar enough. Then the
weekend comes, you want to relax, go out… and then while on way home your thoughts are captivated by the feeling that you should catch
up on some more chores you neglected during the weekend.
And At the end of the day, Here comes Monday. Monday
will come eventually and you have to have clean clothes and ironed
shirts. Then suddenly, it is Sunday evening and you feel like you didn’t
do much and another weekend is gone.
Even worse, if you live with your
partner, because it can feel as you are spending time together. But
living this way, week after week can wear you out. Weeks are flying by,
each of them the same like the other and you are basically after surviving
rather than living your so called happy life.
Well, I found myself in this situation as well. It's just dry lifestyle. But the next worst scenario is when bills are coming in and only to realize that all you have earned for the whole month just drain in all the bills and stuff you needed in your daily life. Wheewww! what is the way out...First I tackled some of my productivity. Maybe working at home makes all my days very similar and that includes weekend. For couple of weeks, I tried to distinguish between the weekdays and weekends with varying level of success.
And then it stroked me. "I always went to bed looking forward to new adventures the following day. I couldn’t nearly fall asleep by my excitement. In the morning, I used to get up full of energy, ready to wake everyone up and make the adventures happen." Haaahhh! Just a vision that one day I'll escaped the rat race lifestyle. So with a little bit of twist I'd hope I'll write the success out come as I can see it now happening.
In the evening, I always knew what I will do the next day with success. And it was always something exciting. It just inspired me to think about the surviving more strategy on this road to life journey. If we all remember what was our life like, when we were kids, maybe we would be much happier and successful as adults.
Since, But then to some it won't worked at all. Because we are too hooked up on the way of life we wanted to or the career we choose to live with. As I get up earlier and ready to enjoy the day with thanksgiving in my heart. Getting up earlier means more time for each activity and more activities during the day. But I thank God for all the graces because even though the road to life that I've chosen was a bit bumpy and too many mountains to climbed, I'll always thank our merciful God for giving me good health, patience, endurance and most of all love that is amazingly blooming inside my heart that prompted me to go on surviving.
Spring season makes the weekend longer and more eventful, but then it has more brighter hope when the sun shine down with a little bit of rain.
My life is happier now knowing that there is hope when you know the steadfast love of Lord almighty never seizes and His mercy never come to an end.
I will continue re-learning and looking forward at the road to life journey ahead, because I bet there is still a lot to be discovered! because as we reach the end of our loaned life and after crossing the bridge,there is a wonderful life after this life.
"BUT ALWAYS AGAIN FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT in this LIFE JOURNEY".
