| Sunrise Over Downtown Manhattan |
Every morning the sun begins to rise over the city and another day begins. Alarms start going off sounding like an annoying symphony,birds are chirping harshly, the heat index rises, and more and more noise begins to emanate from the city streets.
This is just the beginning of a typical morning in Manhattan. In all honestly, half the people in Manhattan are probably just getting home from work so that they too can get some sleep. That is the one thing about New York....We are the city that never sleeps, always awake with our hustle and bustle of busy schedules. Trying to cram as much as humanly possible in to a schedule that includes 6 hours of sleep, shower time, gym times, cooking time, cleaning time, shopping time, working time and traveling time.
Why is it that every day people begin life so hectic? We choose to hit that snooze button for another 15 minutes, but we know we are going to have to rush to get ready then. Why do we do this to ourselves? In my honest opinion it is because all we want to do is be better then the next person. I do believe that in New York besides the catch phrase the city that never sleeps should also be the early bird catches the worm.
Why are our schedules so packed out? Between work, school, shopping, fitness, cooking , cleaning, baking, washing, etc. we are always busy. Not many people take a vacation off from everything. Why?
What are your thoughts on why life is so hectic?
I took my first real vacation in 4 years this weekend and it felt great! It took forever to actually take the time for myself because of the pressure of succeeding financially in new york city is hard. The truth is most new yorkers live above their means, whichs makes them run a constant, never ending rat race! My advice is get the most you can out of your day, get your chores, work, school, workout routine out the way...inbetween enjoy your friends and family and make some special time for them on occasion too. Yeah your gonna be tired but hey...no one said life was easy and you only live once so get the most out of your life!
ReplyDeleteThis is very true. I can say that I am definitely one of the people who live above his means at all times!!!
ReplyDeleteI too cannot wait for a nice vacation where I can get away from home to just relax. Perhaps I'll get far away too!
