Breakthrough :)

This is a whole new level. 


After years of struggle, you'd come to realize that 
the greatest satisfaction comes 
not from how much you achieve in a given time,
instead, it is how you can achieve so much and yet be a happy person
throughout and at the end of the process
without exhausting yourself.


The ability to embrace and execute with grace.


That's how it should have been!
Who says you have to complete a task miserably anyway? YOU DID!
Yes, you YOURSELF.
Nobody put a gun at your head and say, 
"You must get all stressed up while you're rushing for deadline."
"You shall be miserable doing this or that."


It's you It's you It's you!



What's the point of working so hard, so much and at the end of the day, 
you find yourself exhausted and all miserable? And you lose so much more in the end!
You lose your temper (maybe on your friend and hence lose a friend?)..
You lose so much time being miserable (when you could have been enjoying)..
You lose so many unseen things that are highly valuable.. Things you overlooked.



Now, it may seem difficult to not feel so negative when things get so overwhelming..
But really, it isn't impossible! Proven and tested (by me :p ).


Don't be driven by externalities. Let the internal you drive yourself and external factors would no longer matter because YOU'RE IN CONTROL of yourself. Hence the environment won't seem to affect anymore.



Even the gloomiest day seem to bloom! Haha :D
It's the action-and-reaction chain. When you feel good, the day gets better.

Remember,

Success ≠  Happiness

Success + Happiness = What we really want

" It's always about how willing are you to face it or to let go some of the stuff.. Not so much about "things you can't do" or "you don't have the time for it". 物是死的；人是活的。能变则变。"

It's just how you manage within yourself (whether it's positivity, receptivity, persistency, consistency...)

At the end of the day, ask yourself, what do you value most? Is this worth it?
You'll know what to do then! I'm sure.

Last but not least, reward yourself! Make yourself happy! Give yourself a break. :)
休息是为了走更长远的路。

With all that, we should be able to go the extra mile, happily. ;)
