Tie lose ends

May 28, 2011 1:24am CST
Being an adult is not easy. As soon as I graduated from college and earned my professional license, I have always thought that life will be easier. To my dismay, it went downhill from there. Juggling work, post graduate studies,family, friends, church and social activities is making me rethink of my priorities. I have been thinking, how do people manage to make things work when it seems that 24 hours is not enough for all my activities. How to people get successful and still have time for leisure. I am far from being successful yet but it seems that I do not have time for leisure. They say that there are 4 types of people. 1. Those who have lots of money but do not have a lot of time. 2. Those who have lots of time but no money. 3. Those who have no money and no time. 4. Those who have lots of money and lots of time. I wonder, I am neither of the four. I am caught in the middle. How about you? How do you tie lose ends in your life? What category do you belong?

Most of the people are like you and don't come in 4 categories you have mentioned. I also find very little time to give for different things but still somehow i manage it. You need to work on. You need to set priorities. You need to manage time.Unless & untill you manage your time you will always find little time for every thing.Once you do it you will have full control on every thing you would be able to perform your responsibilities with an ease. Always don't link success with money it is not necessary if the person is successful then he is millionaire or vice versa. Once you link up both the things together you will always be in trouble.

That's the irony of life. When we are just small how we wish that we grow faster, but when we are old how we wish that we are still a child. How we wish the everything is just easy no problem, no worries, no strees, no frustrations, we can get what we want that easy. In College we have full of hopes but after graduating the real life start. We will start to look life in the real sense, that we dont really get what we want, we will ask why other people get what they want but you you dont get what you want?. Dont be that sad it doesn't mean that you are less of a person. They are successful and you are not. I believe that success is not measured by how much paycheck you recieved every pay day, its about how we accept what lesson you learned in life. Livinig simple makes us happy and contented on what we have.

Being an adult is coping up with reality and life. We were given 24 hours a day only. That means we must manage the time given to us. If you a lot of activities, you have to let go of the others to fit everything in your schedule. I've experienced having money with lots of time. Losing money & lots of time at hand. No Money but no time. It's just that sometimes, the job you get is not enough to cope up for your daily expenses. You just od it so that you can have some money to spend for daily living. Though it is not enough you still seek for more work to cope up. As I've said you have to work more to meet loose ends in life, if you have to. You're lucky if you're earning enough with a little extra.
