We live life in a culture where pushing beyond our limits and almost killing ourselves at our own expense and that of those who love us has become heroic. What a crock! What's the joy and excitement in being "financially well taken care of" if the person who does the caring (whom we love) is a near-dead, limit-pushing hero?
There is a great difference between challenging ourselves and pushing ourselves to break our limits and ourselves. Challenging ourselves is respectful of ourselves and others. Challenging ourselves is not a frenzied plunge to find our spirituality; it is a tender working with our spirituality.
Just heard from a friend that her relative is unfortunately diagnosed with cancer, with two still young children. The world is indeed callous. We won't know where the road will end. So, when we are still standing strong, it will be worthwhile to put our best attempt in all our endeavours and for our love ones, before our time runs out.
