of dreams big & sacrifices made

its always hard trying to balance the different needs in yr life. on the one hand you want to achieve yr dreams...which usually revolve around making money. loads of it. n to do that you have to work hard. working in an easy 9-6 job wont give you loads of money. u have to get out of yr comfort zone. sweat a little. sacrifice yr time. take on more jobs if you have to. start up a business. just do it.

on the other hand, you want a life full of happiness. an easy life. where you can have all the time in the world to spend with yr loved ones. all the time to pursue yr interests. where life's not all about hard work. where you're happy.

its when you want both that it starts getting hard. how do you balance work n life? you have all these dreams...having yr own business..making yr own money...being rich. but that wd mean spending less time wif yr loved ones. having no time to yrself. do u become a slave to money then?

but if you dont do this, will you be happy with status quo? will you be happy earning $5-6k a month, knowing that you'll never be a millionaire but that at least you'll have yr sanity n yr happiness? its ok if you're someone who doesnt dream big to begin with. but what if you're always dreaming, always questioning if this 'normal' life is the one for you?

if we're always afraid to make sacrifices, we'll never achieve our dreams. you tell yrself sacrifices hv to be made for yr future good. once yr dreams are achieved, you can step back n enjoy the good life. but will life ever be good..or do you start dreaming of bigger things? when is enough enough?

but is it also fair to say that you'll never be happy if you're pursuing money? isnt it all a bit of a cliche..that a rich man is never a happy one?
