When I made my first dollar online, I quickly found out how much value we place on money. I also discovered how little we value our own time because of it.
Making money often means spending all of our time trying to hang onto it, leaving precious little time for actually enjoying it. That famous saying “Time is money” is not quite accurate.
The truth is that money can steal your time. It’s up to you to get control of it and make it work for you, not against you.
Break Free of the Vicious Cycle
First, we spend all of our time trying to make as much money as possible. Granted, we need money to survive, but we all need to learn not to make it our only focus.
Otherwise, when we finally do make it, being a workaholic is so in-grained in us that we can’t seem to break free of the vicious cycle. The cycle is work, sleep, get up and start working hard again.
Taking time for our ourselves to further our own sense of tranquility seems like wasting time. But, it’s really not. It’s imperative for our own peace of mind and even our physical health.
