Or even films?
Or maybe a piece of news, that's a fictional story?
If the person reading this gets a shiver down their spine at reading this, then they do well to keep reading.
The point that I'm writing in this article isn't to give you advice for picking out a set of activities and exercises to look your best.
But I do hope that at the end of this article you will have been able to look back upon this article and say, it's all from the heart.
Something you could take away from this is that you don't have to be pressured into certain things.
That you're good enough for your own life.
And I think that a lot of people find it quite hard to remember that it's okay to take some time off from work and social life once in a while.
So this article just might be for the people who have the most 'workaholic life' when it comes to your career and social life.
Don't worry, I know you're not alone.
I could go on and on on how to lift yourself out of the office and back into your life.
I still remember a man running out of the ocean.
I'm not going to tell you he was giving us swimming lessons or making bananas.
He just, in the deep ocean, and the edge of the ocean at the same time, went diving...
I know that sounds stupid but I'm too googling myself to tell you what was happening on the ocean floor.
Though the closer you get to home life, the more you'll realize that sometimes, you're going to need to release a few levels of excess energy from the amount of time you've been stuck at the house.
That when you get home from work on a Friday, I'm quite sure you will be so tired of walking up the stairs and off the steps that there won't be much point in you continuing the rest of the bed.
I recently met a man who, for years, had a small home workshop. And in his small, spartan workshop, there was a box, about a quarter of an inch across. And a few sawdust-covered tables with colored fabric sticking on the ceiling.
Inside the box were glass jars filled with handfuls of garbage and litter.
And the screen of the room, covered in cheap, colored wallpaper.
His stash of film, stacks of old coins. Some bottles, some magazines, some old comics, some old photos.
And at his workshop, as he set about trashing his studio, he had fun tossing them around.
This is just one of many stories that come to mind.
But most people are like this. Like everyone's version of an athlete or a soul-mate or a group of friends. And no matter what, your hobby, your hobby is usually something that you've enjoyed.
And I don't think that you should be ashamed to be like that.
I don't think that you have to be somebody's number one fan, or their number two fan, or anybody's fan.
My god, if you're not a fan of my music, if you don't like my jokes, then I don't care!
If you like my beard, and I don't care if you don't, whatever you prefer to do with your life.
We're all different, we're all seeking something different that makes us happy.
So now you've seen this.
So what's next?
Your GOAL is to get everything out of your life to make you free.
The ONE thing that should be in your life.
I might give you time off work and social life for a while. I'm going to only pay you to work for a few months now, and I'm coming for your social life too.
So I can't give you social life with friends.
You're good enough for your own life.
The beautiful thing about a FREE person, is that they don't have to do it.
Don't choose something out of duty.
We're all selfish.
Or we're all short-tempered.
We'll use that behavior to justify our unhappiness.
Instead, choose something that will allow you to take more time off work and get yourself out of your house.
I understand you're going to want to get this stuff out in some way, someplace.
And you should try everything I've asked because this sounds so easy.
But the truth is, not all of us can afford to go out and buy self-help books, YouTube tutorials, and music on Spotify.
No matter how much of your money you have.
Don
