Work. Eat. Sleep. Repeat.

[htg designs]

Seems like life is one big cubicle. This isn't how we should be living. Just getting through the week day. Days that you will never get back. Time wasted surviving ( earning to pay cost of living) when you could have been thriving.... ( was gonna go on a huge rant, but , efff it)

 

[celticspride34]

Your living wrong, its posed to be "eat, conquer, sleep, and repeat"

Where does beating up John Cena come into play then?...

I totally fill you. I just got back from a 2 week vacation from Laos visited some family in the villages and man are they so happy n so relaxed. It felt like all that mattered to then was the clothes on their back and be able to see tomorrow, I mean there was more to it but just sum up everything. When I hit the city everybody was chilled as well. Stayed at a friends house n on her days off she would just chill out neighbors come through chop some good food n just relax. Everything is just much slower and enjoyable. It was probably the most relaxing vacation ever.

Sometime in most cases you gotta take a vacation to sync yourself and also to appreciate what you got cause most people don't have as good as us. It also give a whole perspective on life as well. I might wanna re think of going back to school and maybe a IT degree, stack a few n go back n live in Laos, idk I just love it out there. I'm 27 if that matters.

gotta find that balance OP. It's all about managing your time well when you're not at work and finding that balance and medium so your life doesn't revolve around work, Trust me. I worked 2 jobs ... worked almost 80 hours a week and learned the hard way. Now I have a salaried job that pays well and I just find that balance. Sometimes I have to sacrifice work sometimes I have to sacrifice sleep or whatever it may be...it's just all about balancing your life out.

Unless your one of the lucky 1%ers get used to it or kill yourself.

There's been plenty of people with endless money and time more miserable then you.

Just gotta accept the life you have and make the best of it

I am with you OP though.  I am up at 5, at work by 6, then off around 4 get to the gym around 5...home by 630-7 take a shower...make dinner around 730-8 eat it at 830 or so watch tv until 10 go to bed...repeat.

I too have the college loan thing and i make a decent living i am super thankful for everything i have but weekdays are basically dead to me.  Oh and i am single.  So trying to fit time in to be "social" is even harder. 

But you enjoy the weekends so that is more then a lot of people can say.  I love fitness.  I go to the gym to clear my head and relax really.  I play soccer on the weekends which is my other outlet.  I ride my motorcycle too which frees my mind and really relaxes me.   The only advice i can offer is basically what everyone else said.  Find time to recharge, vacations or just take a random day off when you can.  Find a new hobby, or just do something new in general.

The trade off is always money.  Money doesn't buy happiness but it buys choices.  I am happy enough at my job that pays me well and allows me enough paid time off that i don't think i will ever leave.  Could i be happier at another job?  Yes i could, but if the pay was less i wouldn't want it.  I like having a little extra money here and there that allows me to go on those vacations and have hobbies that cost money.  Weigh your options and good luck op.

Was looking for this the other day. Pic is too real man too real.

I'd also like to add this if it helps anyone out.

I'll be 29 tomorrow and until a few months ago I "thought" I was happy.

Nice truck, paying job, girl, money etc.

Crash my truck, broke up with my girl and job got extremely tiring.

Im in th process in enrolling back to school and plan on quitting my current job.

My eyes opened and I realized I was making everyone around me happy not me.

Took 29 years to realize I only got 1 life

It's yours and yours only.

Once you clear your head of the worlds views and materials, I swear to you, you'll never feel more happy and free.

Damn,
Now that is a stimulating post. just made
Me think long and hard about what I'm focusing on right now. Thanks man.


And for those who think I'm complaining that I'm miserable, far from it. I apologize if I came off that way.

Rather than being unhappy or ungrateful, the key word I meant to convey was feeling unfulfilled. I'm doing what a man does, work hard, save money, etc. grateful for the job opportunity because it helped me start digging out of a financial hole.

Just dont feel good about myself on weekdays. I don't feel sorry for myself, I've been to the Middle East... I've seen what relatives live off of, I see the hustle on the streets, I see the filth some people have to live in.

I guess I just want to feel like I'm living a more fulfilling life on weekdays than just working to make a paycheck.

And I think some of you have made me realize I can focus on giving with my off time instead of thinking about what can make my own personal days better, and in the long run that can make me feel more fulfilled than any thing I could do for myself.

I truly must find a way to give back to others. I think it's the biggest aspect missing from my life. I think a daily reminder of how little some have and how much more I can give might just do the trick.

I just gotta find a balance like you guys have said, so I can have the time/energy/money to take care of my family/girl, enjoy life, and give back to the needy as well.

I really gotta sit down soon and evaluate a new game plan. Maybe find a job with a nonprofit or something less robotic for a start. Then find some creative way for me to give back.

You guys are really helping a lot, just want ya'll to know that. Even the people with the cold blooded posts, need that too. It all whips my mind into shape.

Thanks NT

If that's what makes you happy, flourish my guy.

But that's your happiness.

Everyone has a different happiness, problem is th world will make you feel like a lame or hermit if you pursue anything else.

Studio apartment, big *** entertainment set up, trips to Irland, China, and Madagascar.

I'm the opposite...school is not a place i want to go back to...lectures/class time was bad enough (but doable) but homework 

...at least with work, you can usually leave it at the office...

You know, having a child has broken the feel of monotony. It's been an absolute joy being a father of a soon to be 11 year old boy. He plays travel/club soccer with a good team so going to practice, cheering for him & the team, choppping it up with the parents has been fun. It's also good to have a good core of family/friends. Life is only as good as you make it, really...

 

[airdhazzal]

Save money, invest.

 

[Kimchi Papi]

^ Yeah really. Save as much money as you can...

 

[krazy88s]

I see investing a lot when discussing money, boredom with work/life or the future on here. What should we invest in?
