Hmm, a lot of people talk about quitting their job or making big changes, but when the time comes, fear or comfort keeps them stuck. I agree that stress isn’t always about the job; it’s often the mix of poor habits, lack of structure, and unmanaged emotions outside of work that build up.
The idea of doing the work before it’s needed, like stretching before the muscle pulls, is such a powerful metaphor. Life doesn’t really get easier. we just get stronger if we prepare the right way.
And while the past was simpler in many ways, there also wasn't all the help resources and knowledge available to most people. We have access to so much to assist us now, but how many of us utilise it well?
I agree with you. Not many people are willing to tap into the wealth of knowledge at their disposal. Should I say we are so lazy for that or that people nowadays prioritise pleasure over acquiring knowledge that pays. It is just my opinion, though.
