Why Rest?

14 October 2018 · By Sameer Kamboj

Weekdays and weekends are a psychological game we are playing with ourselves. I have never seen life coming to a standstill, relaxing, rebooting itself. It just goes on ceaselessly, tirelessly and fully involved. My heart doesn’t know rest, if it did… I’m in trouble. My mind goes on. All my life functions are on.

I like to look at weekends not as rest days but as days full of activities. Just that I shift my focus to other things, other people, other priorities that other weekdays wouldn’t permit.

If I need to rest and recover over a weekend, then something is wrong with me. I check my body, mind and energy levels. Set right whatever is wrong and then go on ceaselessly, tirelessly and fully involved.

If I need rest and relaxation over the weekend then I’m doing something wrong with my Life on the weekdays. I don’t wait for weekends to live and enjoy my Life. I am alive each moment, all days. I can’t wait to live for the weekends while I die each week day.

Humans created the concept of weekends. Life did not. Weekends should be as intense as any other day. Start your day as you would normally do…. (OK.. A little bit late) 😊. But go on. Do not tire. Do not stop. Go on… Fully involved.

Choose your priorities… And go on.
