Someone said this to me one day. This statement made me pause. This statement stayed with me for a long time. Why would anyone want to kill themselves if they were not working?
These words obviously belong to a workaholic. Millions of people around the world are workaholics. From the time they wake up to the time they hit the bed, at whatever time they hit the bed, they have their cell phone attached to their ear. All the in between hours are spent in meetings, phone calls, business planning, business execution, eating meals on the go, multi tasking, working breakfast/lunch/dinner meetings, meeting one person after another to discuss business planning, more planning-discussing-meeting in the gym, if at all there is a gym workout, a quick call to the family once in a while to say they are going to be late and the day goes by and another day begins and ends with the same routine.
When it is vacation time, if there is one, then there is more planning of the vacation, with the family, with the travel agent and so on…
The mind is working ALL THE TIME. The constant chatter in the mind just does not stop.
Why do people do this? All these people may or may not be successful, some might have just entered the work force and some might be at the end of their “work” life, but the work goes on and on and on.
I can understand this need/this hunger for work in the younger days. These are the days when people have to establish themselves, build a body of work, become successful, gain position and recognition.
What I can’t fathom is why people have to continue at the same pace once they have established themselves, gained recognition and positioned themselves in this society. Well, of course to maintain what they have achieved.
Agreed. But does that justify the thought that, “If I stop working, I will kill myself?” Hey, what drives you to constantly look outwards? What devastation would happen if you do not work round the clock? Why not take a moment to pause and say Hello to your Self? Why not take some time to spend time with your Self. Would it be so traumatic to just BE? Would it be unbearable to get to know your Self? Would it be impossible to actually Listen your thoughts? Do you make yourself so uncomfortable that you have to surround your Self with people and work 24×7?
Tell you what? At which ever spectrum you are in your work Life, Take half an hour out from your daily routine, right now, and JUST BE.
Do let me know what happened in that half hour.
