Day in, day out, we are on the move. Struggling and hustling for a piece of shelter over our heads, food on our table and some piece of clothing to cover our nakedness.
We sleep late and very early the next morning we are up. It is never easy for anybody. Be it a student, a market woman, an executive director or a job seeker. Every single day we must always be on the move.
At night again we come back exhausted. Physically exhausted and mentally drained, rest is still far from us. Even at night when we close our eyes, some of us still think about those things we couldn't do and how we will face them the next day..
All in a bid to make some money, some have more than one job and some even have four and wished they can still have more. The body breaks down but we are not dettered.
It's just headache we say, we have to manage it and struggle continues until someone slumps on the road going to work or the sickness becomes severe and then you hear, he died after a brief illness. Was the illness really brief?
Hmmm! What is the life after all? Vanity upon vanity all is vanity. But if we don't hustle, who will feed us? Who will cloth us? Who will put a roof on our head?
This is a complicated life. Is there ever true rest in this world?
Some days I feel like disappearing and fling my phone away but I surely know the consequences of doing that. My body tells me I need rest but then I feel I can't afford it. The eyebags form the dark circles from lack of sleep, weight loss and people start asking, are you alright?
When does one get to rest in this life?
Just some mumblings in my head this evening and I thought I could share it
picture taken from my phone
Smiles, rest? Do i hear rest? As an entity you have the full right to "choose to rest" and also the consequences have its own total right to act upon you at its own choice. You can only rest once you are able to bribe its consequence to rest also
Oh my goodness! This is so complicated @codegod. In a nutshell, if you choose rest over hardwork, prepare for the consequences. Damn!
Mami seriously when you keep working your brains out like this who is gonna enjoy the fruit of your hardwork.
That is why it is very very essential to strike a balance in all you do, give that body and brain the rest it deserves, give yourself a treat, shower yourself with some love and then start the cycle while working so hard for a good future.
I appreciate ur hardwork
Thank you so much @eurineal1. It won't be bad to take some days off steemit right? But then they say consistency is the key. How do I strike a balance?
yes dear..the world is cruel, face it and keep going forward
desire is the hardest thing, reduce desire may slightly reduce stress
Keep the spirit 👍👏
Hmmmm! Reduce desire and stress will reduce. You are kinda right because stress came about in the first place as a result of us wanting to satisfy some desires. Thanks a lot @olgiz247
We will rest when the billions enter. Just chill and continue to hustle my one and only Ms Cookies.
May we never die when the billion is about to enter.
These days, rest is like a far-fetched concept. Everybody has to hustle or else the effects might just be detrimental to all the basic necessities that makes for a comfortable life but then again, when is the comfort ever enjoyed?
Exactly, when is the comfort ever enjoyed? Dear lord! What a life
Well just choose whatever that will always give you joy thus you forget about that particular question.
Making money gives me joy. Can it ever be enough?
Lol, just the right question, there is no rest, we must work, work and work, the more richer you get, the more work you do
Apart from God, you in control of your life, so you determine your rest... My little cent
Thank you so much. It is worth something @eprolific
There is indeed no time to rest in life except we create one for ourselves. I understand the fact that we have to survive but we have to take things slow and little bit.
Love with the whole of our hearts, take part in healthy competitions because that is the root cause of the problems we face in life.
Keep being awesome Ma

You see? That's why we need rest o but when do we get the time to rest?
Damsel ,uhmm , as long as we are still striving to get to the top , stress is inevitable , i pray someday we will get there by then all the sleepless night , stress will become a thing of history , may God bless our hustle
Amen o. All these our sleepless night should yield something.
Aminnnn
A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest. We all need rest, even God rested, to function in all wellness of the body, mind and soul one needs rest, the circumstances surrounding life might not always grant us the rest we so need, but we shouldn't fail to get rest whenever we can.
Not everyone will be able to get 8-6 hours of sleep at a stretch, but we can split the hours and still get the needed rest that will enable our bodies to function rightly.
