OMG The Stress!!
The other day I ran into an old friend.She was rumoured to have gone through a bit of an abrasive period in life.At 42 she had just recovered from the famous “burnout routine”….late nights,killing deadlines,stress,competition,aspiration,poor eating ,disturbed sleep,discordant relationships.you know-the works.After medically supervised treatment and a year long sabbatical she appeared stronger and wiser.This is what she had to say
“I am a firm believer
that people should try to make the most out of each day that they are alive. We
all have to die at some point and even though this may seem a little morbid it
is true. Today or tomorrow could be our last day and therefore this is why we
should be living each day to the full.
The End of Life Is Closer Than You Imagine
No one can say for sure
that they are going to live until let’s say seventy years of age, most people I
think presume that they will, which could be seen in some quarters as a good
thing. Each day I read and watch the local and international news stories which
make me aware of some very sad events. People who are very young are dying each
day in a variety of different circumstances and I am very much aware that I am
not immune from one of these tragic events. Thinking positive they say is the right
way to think, which I have to admit is something I also agree with.

they will take on any extra hours as way as overtime that is offered to them. I personally would rather spend time with my children than be stuck at work and feel that my life is enriched in this way.My attitude is that I need to work to live where as other people seem to live to work. It is like they would rather be at work than at home having fun or spending time with their family. I know a number of people who have young children but who leave their house at around half six in the morning and do not return home until seven at night. This is not because they are poor but because
The Last Minutes Of Life Can Be The Happiest

When I am on my death
bed ,what I hope will not be for a long time yet of course, I want to be able
to think and say to myself that I have no regrets and that I am happy with the
way I have lived my life. From the work that I do, I am able to take my family
on holiday each year and can afford to pay all of my bills. Some no doubt might
say that I should work a lot more hours than I do, I would then be able to buy
a better car and would be able to take my family on two holidays per year. What
I would say in response to this however, is at what price would I be able to
obtain this? I would have to sacrifice much of the
“I would have to sacrifice much of the quality time I have with my
children, would not be able to take them swimming and to the park as often as I
do for example”
quality time I have with
my children, would not be able to take them swimming and to the park as often
as I do for example. I hope and think that my children are very happy at the
moment and this in my opinion is priceless. I will not compromise this in
search for a better standard of car etc.
Where is The Logic In Living for Tomorrow?

| Squeeze Out Happy Moments |
I used to constantly
worry about what might happen to me in three or six months time. Will this or
that happen? If it does how would I be able to cope? I am of course worrying in
these situations about things that have not even and may never happen. This I
have now realised is pointless and even very silly. I should be living for
today, I should be making the most of today, I will think about tomorrow,
tomorrow.
“I will deal with any problems that come my way in
the best
way that I can at the time when they happen”
By stressing about
problems before they happen will only stop me from enjoying myself on that
particular day. I will deal with any problems that come my way in the best way
that I can at the time when they happen, that is all I can do.
Now is the time to stop
the stress, worry, fear and depression. There is a good chance that we only
have one life, so lets enjoy it.”
