The Action |
Just when you think you’ve figured life out, another challenge slaps you in the face. The adjustments you’ve already made, aaah! As it is they were hard enough. But now? Oh, look, here comes another problem. When will we get to just breathe? Or have one of those magical “lazy days” we hear about in fairy tales?
We were all in such a rush to grow up, weren’t we? And now, we find ourselves handing out the same advice to the younger generation, who just stare at us like we’re talking in, ‘we know it’s all secret nag codes.’ It’s like a relay race, except you’re always running. You pass the baton, then barely have time to catch your breath before you’re back in the race. Just thinking about it makes me want to collapse on the couch with a bowl of chips.
Yes, there are thrill-filled, laugh-until-you-can’t-breathe moments in there, but let’s be honest, why does it all feel so… tiring? The truth is, when we neglect our well-being, it’s like termites slowly munching on the foundation of your house. You don’t notice it at first, but one day, you realize your life’s built on a pile of crumbs, and you’re just trying not to crumble with it.
So, what now? After hitting that milestone, we get hit with a cold dose of reality! Wow, I missed a lot. No time to meet old friends. No time to just… exist. No time for family dinners, even though you promised. You’ve been too busy working through deals and dodging calls from loved ones, only to realize you haven’t caught up with anyone in ages. But here’s the silver lining: You did well. Seriously. You stayed committed, disciplined, and focused. You put in the work. You earned those accomplishments. You nailed it.
But guess what? It’s time to flip the script. Take those achievements, tie them with a big, fat bow, and stick a huge “pampering” label on them. Treat yourself to some well-deserved love, laughter, and maybe even a bit of indulgence. Send out those smiles to the people who were there with you in your journey. You’ve earned it and so have they.
“Are you still with me?”
“What??”
“ACTION TIME! Get to it, NOW!”
