when can you RELAX in life?

Oh please. Everyone who’s saying “When I become a multimillionaire” is either going to a) be an extreme workaholic and suffer the consequences, both in terms of social life and love life and health, or b) change their minds as soon as they see what real work is.

I agree that week or month-long ‘vacations’ of doing nothing all the time get really boring really quickly. But I believe in enjoying life as much as you can - if you work a lot, please do something you like. Find beautiful things in everyday life - a child, a flower, a lovely view. Find comfort in love, familial or platonic or romantic or, if you’re lucky, some combination.

Don’t burn out. You’ll regret it. You’ll regret not being with people you care about or enjoying the life you’ve chosen for yourself. Enjoy little moments each day. Find things that help you destress and relax - a good meal, exercise, meditation, creating a piece of art. We all need it.
