The old man asked me;
"Which will you prefer, to be stressed now and then later in life you relax or you relax in this early stages of your life and then later in life, the stress comes in heavy?"
This question as easy as it was kept me awake not just because I couldn't answer it but because knowing the answer is far different from living the answer.
Obviously I knew the answer would be to be stressed now and relax later. WBut it also depends on what exactly is stressing you and how beneficial it is.
If you focus all your energy on doing something that puts food on the table just for a day. In 20 years time you will still be stressed and only with enough food for the day. No benefit just more stress because as you age your body gets more tired.
Quickly answering the question was my major concern. I needed a fix on what would be worth stressing now and would yield enough benefit in the future.
I finally found the answer on what I should do.
I decided to invest in myself.
