Unfortunately, this is something that HAS to be done, working and grinding the wheel I mean.

What is an option (unless you were born filthy rich but I dont know about you, but I am not) is choosing a desirable and easy going path.

Yes we have to make a grind every now and then to achieve a goal, but this does not define who we are.

I find I am making some nice grinding decisions by choosing different routes (living in an easy going place (no money though) and going to live in a big paying country (in process) but the fact remains, we have to.

It does take the attention off who we are and who we want to be in terms of who we want to be towards our loved ones. Are we the person that makes somebody proud (achievement BUT also love giving wise), or are we the person that takes it all for granted.

The sun comes up every day for free, yet being a person people like to be around is not. I like to think that I am this person (i hope my friends and family agree to this haha)
