A person who does not have hobbies, does not read or does not work on self improvement becomes a bored, frustrated goalless individual.
If you cannot make the time to enjoy life, what is the point of living your life?'
Now I am not being negative, but most successful people have hobbies or interests outside of work. This usually does not include sitting in front of a television playing computer games, watching hours of series or movies. They dont sit on social media for the sake of sitting on social media, they use it as a tool to better themselves.
I am learning these lessons late in life, if I had learnt these lessons in my 20s I would probably be a heck of a lot closer to my dreams then I am now. But better late then never!!!
Invest in yourself, make the sacrifices, and then you will be able to go on those holidays, buy those cars, spend more time with your families, afterall, life is not about slogging 18 hours a day for 40 years, retiring and trying to survive on a meager pension, life is about living, living for now, enjoying your children because they grow up so quickly.
Build your independence and live, be your own boss and leader, the rewards can be endless.
It takes guts to invest in yourself, it takes guts to leave a stable job, the monthly paydays, the bonus and all the perks that come with a job, but these are not investing in yourself, these are investing in your employer, your employers employer and ultimately the head of the organisation and shareholders.
What do you want out of life?
