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.

When I was young you taught me how to read and rhyme, And showed me laughter under the smiling sunshine. I remember that day when I stumbled with pain But you carried me in you arms and the pain was gone. You taught me the meaning of respect, to other beings and to thyself You modeled these traits not only in thy words but by actions on oneself You taught me responsibility to thy spouse and to our dynasty You modeled these through thy affection to my mother and members of our family The greatest kings have conquered the strongest nation But believe me; no king is greater than your affection. As you leave this world we know But the love you’ve showed in my heart entombed Today I may be sad because you said goodbye For the angels in heaven took your soul up in the sky If mothers are the best, fathers are the greatest. Thank you for your fatherly love, it was the best. . Image Source: Wikipedia
