We all work like a dog as if there’s no tomorrow. We worry too much on so many things such as how to increase our wealth, how to be financially secured until retirement, how to be the best among our colleagues, how to achieve our dreams like building our dream house. And the list continues…

Poet's Loft, Painting by David Hettinger
Yes, it’s our right to dream big and to find ways on how to make them a reality. Yes, it’s true that time is gold and we don’t have enough time to attain all the “bests” in life if we don’t put much effort. Yes it’s really undeniable that we are nothing but hunger of successes. Yes, it’s just the right thing to do that we eagerly want to pass the values of hard-work and perseverance to our children, becoming ourselves as role models to them.

However, we are a complete human being. We get tired as well. We are not machines that surely operate 24/7 without stopping, well in some cases, machines do malfunction sometimes. In that case, I may be wrong to say, machines are not perfect at all, they too need a break. How much more to us?

Isn’t it refreshing and calming to go outside every now and then, and see the beauty of nature being away from all the stresses we do all have from work? Wouldn’t it be more wonderful to do simple things that could give us joy such as hiking; cycling; fishing; or just simply spending time walking in the park? Wouldn’t it be more valuable to spare time with loved ones and just forget about all the worries we all have about our future?

Fields of Green, Painting by David Hettinger

Oh gosh! You need a break. I need a break. We all need it for sure!

Forget about bills some time. They are always be there even on our tomb but this very life, this beautiful life is temporary. This surely is passing. We may not realize it always but that is for real. Life has no repeat and we really need a good break once in a while to breathe something new.

Let’s get out while we can. Live a life without fear or worries.

Travel if you can and learn something from it, which is a complete difference from what you normally do in your everyday life.

Do what you love doing - maybe a hobby that has been forgotten since the very time you make yourself too busy.

Experiencing life in a different perspective will surely be refreshing even in a very few moments. And that will really have a huge and positive impact on our lives. A break is what we all need to make us jovial again.

Let’s have a break and breathe life.
