All of us are so busy to make the most our time. We stress over the kind of life we have and what we want to provide to our family. It’s essential and everyone understands it but the amount of investment of time that we put in mostly just fuels the amount of stress and all we do is accumulate. The tension that prevails our minds is so much that we forget everything else and just put all our focus on our work so that we can earn enough to give the best possible life to everyone we love. But how much is enough?
We all have that desire of getting enough to make the best out of the time that we have but we don’t really have any metrics to know how much that is. There is no way to quantify what is enough and in an unpopular opinion there can never be enough, we will always want more and there will always be something that we want. The world is evolving every day and each day we find o something knew that can either ease our lives or can help us to do more in less time. Saving time is the goal that we all have been running after since the very beginning.
All of us want to save more time only to do more with what we save. We are convinced that we are working so hard so that we can give the best of all that is available to the ones we love. What we forget is that money will always be there and so will be all the luxuries but, the time we get with our families and friends is limited.
The thought behind the amount of work we do is angelic but it does us no good when we don’t get to be with the ones we care about. If we look at it this way, a person needs only three meals per day and three liters of water to survive and live a healthy life under most conditions. But life isn’t just about surviving it is about enjoying the time we get to live with the people that make us feel comfortable and by doing things that puts a genuine smile on our face. It is about making memories that we live not the ones that we post on social media platforms.
Due to this recent outbreak of CoVid19 we all are obligated to stay in isolation at our homes for our own safety. Everything is shut down and we are all stuck at home with our families. But, if we take a closer look to this situation we all can agree that it takes a lot less to survive than what we think monetarily but what we need more is the affection and emotional attachments with the people that we call our own. In these hard times money and technology are the last thing that are helping us it is the people that we call are own that are making a difference.
