You are bleeding. You are losing blood. You are losing life. You are leaving us little by little.

You are looking too far ahead, far ahead to that day when you too can relax and have your money work for you, to have others work for you – a day and time when you will no longer look at others and look down on yourself upon seeing where others have reached and the long road to freedom ahead of you.

You have been attending other people’s dreams’ fulfilment parties, wondering when will come your turn when others shall join you in celebrating your passion, dream and ambitions. That day looks too far in coming and hope is flickering, threatened to be blown out by winds of discouragement.

You are making progress, no doubt, but it seems slow, painfully slow. To drive yourself out of this tunnel that has forced you to walk with a bowed head, you work and work and work, converting many leisure hours into work, work, work.

You hope that one day when you make it, you will have enough fun to make up for all the times others had fun and all you did was work.

The clock is ticking and your interpretation of its message is that others are passing you by into success and all you see plastered on you is ‘left behind’ and you must grind harder to catch up.

Go turn that clock off and cast it into the sea. To hell with the clock and its message! Take yourself out, out to where no clocks chime. Out to a quiet, serene place, where you can discharge pent up frustrations, stress, anger, bitterness, betrayals.

Let it go. Release it all. Inhale freshness. Inhale positivity. Inhale energy.

Your road is long. Take time to service your soul and refresh it with good memories and good relaxation. You will need it for the long journey ahead.

A weekend all to yourself, spiced with popcorn and movies and music and good friends, beach and discos and your favorite meal at your favorite restaurant – you need these, you need these often.

It is good to save, to work hard and be successful one day, but take time along the road for a good time of relaxation and enjoyment. It will give you fresher ideas on how to better reach your destination and make you reach there with extra energy and in top form.

Don’t forget that your destination will be the beginning of the next level and the new next level is filled with fresh demons. You will need extra strength to battle your way through.

So save your energy by taking time to create beautiful memories and have fun in the course of your journey to the top.
