Missing my smooth life

Hi Friends Yes I am missing my smooth life. Don't worry, it doesn't mean I am facing any trouble or any odd thing. Since a year my life is like very busy. I am not getting time for what I love to do (mylotting is also one of them). I guess it is normal for all as life changes and responsibilities also change as it go ahead. So yes I need to work hard right now and yes this is the time when I can't complain at all. But still I am missing my smooth life. As per my nature my need calm life for sure. But I know I will get it in future if I will work hard now. I can't compromise at all. What about you? You like peaceful life or hyper active one. Well, I know few people who love to stay active all the time. They feel bored when they have no work to do. I wonder how they manage to do it.

I am kind of person who can do anything for 24-7 if and only if it is something which I am interested and wouldn't even face anything which I am not interested at that time eventhough it is very much important . So basically it all depends on Mood. I know it is not so good to be like this but then something never changes in life.

I guess if you can do it then it is really good to be like that. Normally right now I am doing those thing which I am not interested at all. May be that's why I am not feeling it that good. But that's good that you can keep it up with things in which you are not interested. Keep it up.

I am the kind of person who likes a bit of both - activity as well as leisure time, particularly to do things I like such as pondering on different aspects, sleeping, being on my computer, and so on. However, over the last one and half years since I took up a job at a private firm, my life has been a roller coaster ride. Working more than 8 hours a day and sometimes even after that on reaching home has really taken a toll on me. I used to be really active on MyLot but then had been on a hiatus. It is dawn now and it feels like a breath of fresh air to be back though I see so much of the layout and everything else has changed here! I really need to get the hang of it. Our lives I believe are like those waves, the ripples, ups and downs being an integral part just like extreme busy periods and those imbued with calmness too. I wish that you can get back to your smooth life soon and I absolutely agree with your thought that hard work now will surely pay off, helping us lead a peaceful life later on. :)

That's what I am going through now. Even I was used to be hyper active on mylot in past. But now I am rarely opening it. In fact all my internet activity reduced lot in compare to past. So yes it is going like roller coaster ride for me too. But yes it is life, and we have to face all these challenges.

@suni51 Giving time to family is so important too. About sleeping habit, I am surely sleeping more than you right now.

Same here, I need both as well but my sleeping habits are different. I can sleep 5-6 hours and get recharged for next 12 hours. Rest of the time I need for my personal life and family.

Hullo akp! I am not the person who likes an activity -packed schedule but I like a smooth relaxed life.But I am also forced into much activity the past few days and was about to start a discussion on the same.Don't worry. You will soon find peace [as much peace possible] within your active schedule because you seek it. All the best!

Hello.. Hope so. Right now I am going through more than normal daily work. But I know it is temporary. But even if it not temporary I have to do it as it is important thing for me right now. So can't complain about it. But yeah, I guess I will get relaxation time soon enough. Thanks.

I am doing absolutely fine but life is no fun unless you have no ups and downs in it. Everything comes back to track if you give it a right thoughtful direction

That's true for sure. I know and that's what I am trying to do now. Yeah if we have smooth normal life all the time then it would more become like boring stuff. By the way, good to see you here back. How are you doing?

Rightly said Jaishankar! Every change offers a challenge and brings out another dimension in our character leaving us with a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

@else34 You are right about changes happen in life. I guess that's what exactly happening with me. If things will continue like this I am sure I will be used to of it. So no big problem. It only seems bit difficult to me as all work are out of my interest. But its okay. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

I like being active all the time. I work from home and I consider being active in work as a peaceful life.

That's really great. Having active is good (in fact great) then life which is having no work at all. So it is good to have daily activity in life so that our mind don't go for any wrong thought.

Yes rest and relaxation is important too. Well, I can do lots of stuff for sure, but I can continue for long if I am interested in that work. Otherwise I really get bored with it. But I can't ignore anything right now as they are important to me. So no choice. That's really good that you can keep it up like that way. It is really good to be active like that.

I love a peaceful life. A life that has no worries and stress free. I love to live a life that I have been dreaming of all my life- that is to go from one country to another with a person I love the most. I think it is the reason that until now I am not yet married. I am a dreamer. However, when I am at work, we need to be always active. A lot of teaching stuff, a lot of deadlines, a lot of paper work. I do not mind it at all. I know it is needed for my professional growth. On this post, I remember a good quotation that I have read and would like to share to everyone "A calm sea never make a skillful sailor." That is, we have been experiencing good and bad things in order for us to be the person that God wants us to be and give glory to our Creator.

@akp100 I have realized that if we have a dream and we want it so much, the first thing we need to do is ask it in our prayers. As we ask, we must believe that we are going to receive it.

Wow.. I wish you get your dream person as soon as possible and you will able to complete your all dreams. That's wonderful line for sure. Obviously without doing any thing we will not achieve anything. We have to work anything in life for at least having good and active mind.

We all have hyper active life as we all are now more active in our life. Everything we love to do must be our work. Dream job or dream business, and enjoying time with family is what we love for. Yet we have to do whatever is available for us. Just we need time for ourselves and our family and friends.

That's what I exactly mean. If work is interest related then there is no problem in those hyper activities. But when it times for work which is totally non interested then it is hard to keep it on. But yes we have to do it whatever we feel.
