It's a new month and with it, comes new work and financial stress again. I was telling my friend that each time a new month rolls around, I am starting from ZERO again. He asked me, isn't it the same scenario for every new day? Of course, but when it is a daily target, you can tell yourself that there is always "a new day tomorrow." But when it is a monthly target, you can't tell yourself that there is another month coming. You have bills that you need to settle THIS month and next month will bring new bills too.
No matter how great one enjoys working for himself or herself, life is totally more challenging that someone who works a 9 - 5 job. This is because make or break, the responsibility is totally on your shoulders and you can feel the stress.
My friend advised me not to pressure myself unnecessarily but I have to pressure myself. I can’t afford to slack. I can take a little time off now and then, and there are sometimes that I am forced to attend to something else that causes me to slack but in the end, if I am not bringing in the bacon, I only have myself to blame for not pushing myself as hard as I could.
So, April, 30 days.... I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
