This Commonly Accepted Aspect Of Everyday Life Can Actually Hinder Our Growth
Monday through Friday, 9 to 5, Weekends and Holidays off. That is the average work week and those are the only times you are supposed to work.
Anyone who does work outside of that is viewed as weird and crazy for enjoying their work that much.
If you want to work on Weekends, want to work outside your work hours, want to work through the night or work on Holidays everyone will tell you you do too much.
But why does it have to be so restrictive?
Why can’t you work when you want to?
Why can’t you want to do more and reach higher?
Why can’t you work all night and sleep all day?
Who made up these ridiculous rules and settings that you have to abide by?
Just hear me out: What if you just woke up when it fit you? Worked when you felt you wanted to? And did things on your own time?
We are so constricted by the idea of time and work and everything around us functions to fit that, randomly chosen, schedule.
But that may not be your schedule or what works best for you.
Don’t forget the bigger picture in all of this! The bigger picture is that you are happy, fulfilled and feel like you lived a life worth living!
If that means you want to work through a night, take a holiday to power through some tasks or means you want to wake up at 4 p.m. one day, then do that!
Just remember to lead your schedule as it fits your life best and increases your own growth!
Of course, you still have to subject yourself to the schedules of other people, so sometimes you have to sacrifice a little of that freedom so that you can get paid for a certain job, but even then, at least in today’s time, there is often an opportunity for you to work from home.
Yes, you have to subject yourself to some of the rules of society to live in it, but not all of them and not all the time, especially not the unwritten ones.
