Short paragraph

I just don’t get it. I regularly witness people working their butts off, coming in to the office early and going home late at night. They spend a disproportionate amount of their time sitting in the office working. Often, these same people aren’t the newest apprentice eagerly trying to learn the ropes. They are the owners, shareholders and top authorities in their successful businesses. Money isn’t an issue yet they still slog away. They tell me they like working. I would like to take their word for it but when I delve a little deeper, there is more often than not an underlying issue they are trying to avoid or escape. Perhaps, stopping for a while scares them? When we stop for a while and contemplate what we are doing, what will happen if we realise how meaningless our actions really are in the grand scheme of things? What if we suddenly become aware that we have actually been in denial?  What if we realise that we are afraid of change and have just been keeping our busy head down, clinging to the safety of the existing life structure we have carved out, even if it no longer works for us?

People fool themselves on a daily basis. People don’t really know themselves. In fact, the majority don’t know what makes them happy. Food for thought.

In my opinion, the ‘rich’ person is the one who has quality of life. The wise person who realises that time is more precious than anything else and uses it wisely is the one who will look back with the highest sense of peace and contentment. Chasing money has become an obsession that has taken us ‘off course’ and leaving more people than ever feeling lost and empty.

Working has become an acceptable way to define ourselves and chaos reigns when people  retire or move away from their defined work-based roles. They start asking questions like, “who am I?”. They often have no idea who they are outside of their defined role at work. A sad state of affairs. There are ways to lessen the impact of the defined roles that you have taken ownership of.
