In today’s fast-paced world, many modern-day workers are pushing their limits - taking two or three jobs at a time resulting to weekend shifts, stressful meetings, frequent client calls, and the likes. This is on top of their daily household activities like doing the groceries, general cleaning, baby-sitting, walking the dog, etc. These workers collapse into bed at night… exhausted. Add to it the growing competitiveness of our business environment which encourage companies to push their services to higher levels and pressuring their employees to stretch their capabilities to the edge. It also compels employees to spend more time in their workplace and to prioritize their job over their families. As a result, modern-day employees put themselves under pressure in order to be successful in their work and to earn more money. This way they can buy luxury and use their money to experience everything they can possibly can. They have raised the bar of their own expectations and they cannot forgive themselves if they are unsuccessful in meeting their anticipations.
Most of us are probably guilty of
the above circumstances. Our chaotic schedules and extreme lifestyles have
stolen from us the peace, happiness, laughter, and satisfaction of life. We
have become too analytical, too systematic, and too critical of our actions and
as well as the actions of other people. Since we lack time, we fast-track our
judgment by simply looking at the cover of a book instead of its contents. We
sometimes condemn a simple mistake in a sentence like a missing period - and
totally disregarding its inspiring message.
Our life is no longer satisfying because we live our life to work and we have very little time to enjoy it. In order to have a satisfying life, we must work, we must enjoy, and we must rest. This is the simplest way to have a satisfying life. Try it.

I grew up believing that dreams do come true. I was taught that as long as you work hard, follow your heart's desire, do good, and pray to God, your dreams will someday become a reality. I was also taught that If you fail once, try again and if you still fail, try harder. As they say, try and try until you die. I turned into writing blogs to release my frustrations in life. I wrote articles in Hubpages, Triond, Bukisa, and Associated Content. I am no longer active on those sites, I just created this blog site and concentrated on this instead. Who is Joshua Miguel? Our real name was given to us by our parents. Not that I don't like the name given to me but if given a chance to change my name I would choose Joshua Miguel. That is the story behind my pen name and that is the reason why my blog-site's name is "Joshua's Page ". All articles in this blog-site were inspired by my day to day tho ughts and experiences. Hope you will en
