Work hard, play hard is the only way to live.
Introduction
I used to be the kid who smoked weed with friends, talked shit about society, the broken economy, the dumbed down popculture and the world in general, how it was all doomed.We wanted to see the world burn and hope that from the ashes something new and better would arise, skipping out on life because we felt like we would not want to have any of this.
I used to despise people who earned a paycheck only to spend it on childish and impulsive things. This would include going on vacations, throwing parties, shopping and going on nights out. Everything that we did for recreation seemed like a waste of time. This additude would spiral into more and more loathing and apathy.
Realization
I realized that I had been delusional, that the problem was not with society, but with me.I guess deep down I had a fear of failing so I never even bothered to try.
Real world
I got older, entered the real world and found a love for doing things that add value to everyone's existance. I got over my fear of rejection, got a handle on laziness and finally enjoyed life. I started a few projects, which successfully lead to even more projects.Now I'm on a vacation and can't stand just waiting around, I'm itching to get something done.
Squeeze
This world only has so much to offer and you have to squeeze every last drop out of it.You should not hold yourself back from the experiences you are lucky enough to get.
You have to live inside the society not on the sidelines to be happy, we are herd animals who seek approval from eachother after all.
Work hard, play hard
I learned that if you just accumulate wealth and don't play hard then you are shooting yourself in the foot by not spending enough and having to work harder to make up for that spendature. The hard work you have to do raises your tolerance to stress and allows you to become even more successful. This is why you should never aim toward a life where you just sit around doing nothing while getting paid. Doing nothing of value just sucks real hard.Follow your heart
Don't get stuck in a rut where you overthink things. Do anything you want, don't listen to others and follow it through to the end, no matter how crazy others say your idea is.The crazier it is, the better it is.
Very inspirational, thanks for the read.
