Why I work During Holiday?
1st May is a public holiday in my part of the world. Many would decide to chill and sleep in. As for myself, I spend it on exercising, some work, preparing for my exams and finding more ways to automate my business. I did watch one Netflix movie while visiting my parents.
Public holiday has become a platform where I would take the opportunity improve my business. The improvements can be learning new knowledge or refining the business processes. Normal days are to keep up with the competition while public holidays are to overtake the competition.
I do not feel stressed or overwhelmed. At times if I am not working on something, I would feel guilty and antsy. Working on something is "fun" for me. I feel useful and productive. When I finally take break by watching a movie or having a good meal with the family, I feel good and satisfied. The harder the I work, the more satisfaction when I am on a break.
Obviously, the fear of failure is also factor that haunts me. The days where I do not have money for the family are still in my mind. I do not want to feel like a helpless loser anymore. I do not know how it feels to be a champion. What I want is to look into the mirror and proud of what I see.
How I live my life is different from many. To some people, this is stress and misery. For myself, being able to work on myself and business is a privilege. I wish you able to live the life that you want to live.
