Escaping the Rate Race: Your Daily Routine

6.30 am in the morning... You wake up: Still dreamy and tired - You're going to make a cup of coffee or tea, and then rush to work... On your way to work, there's a lot of traffic: Now you're worried, "If you'll get there on the right time? If you'll be late, what will happen? Will you get your ass fired or your boss will just yell at you?" - These are the thoughts that cross your mind, or something like that; maybe something a little-bit different!
Anyways, somehow you'll manage to get to work on the right time... Now that you're there, you'll do what you always do: you're working hard to earn money...


Maybe sometimes you'll get angry or really tired before the day working is over: Maybe sometimes you just have to stay at work a little bit longer, because you haven't finished what your boss told you to do... Well, anyways... after-wards you'll get home: Mad at your boss; mad at all surrounding people; mad at yourself... And the next day, "Boom" - just the same, or a little bit different; and yet, the same...

I guess most of us recognize this routine! Or i am wrong to say that this really is what most of us are doing right now? Maybe your routine is a little bit different from the one i described, but non the less it's boring - or isn't it? Do you really love your job or are trying to make a career out of it, even when you hate it so much that you cannot stand what you're doing?
Lets be honest: "most of us hate to wake up in the morning and go to work; most of us hate to work 8-12 hours a day on the job no-matter the income; most of us hate it, because we don't have as much free time as we wish to be with our friends or family; to travel or to do whatever we really want to do..."

This struggle to survival to feed your family and yourself may seem as endless misery till you'll retire, but the truth is that we all can (if we want to) escape this rat race: Escape this routine to freedom; to have as much time as we want to - but it comes with the price to learn something new, to change something in our lifestyle... Because when you'll change nothing in your lifestyle, nothing will change; you will never escape that rat race because you haven't done nothing to escape it... You must say to yourself "I can do it" - and you will; no matter the cost or time spent on it, you will if you want to...
