When You want to become a Stone Just for the Day
Today,
I woke up to just another beautiful day of my life.
Compared to these past few days when I kept waking up late and messing up my schedule a bit here and there, I woke up on time today.
Which is: 4.30 a.m.
Fun Fact: [ Just two months ago, I was still waking up at 10a.m. every morning. ]
I took a morning shower and finished my morning study as scheduled at 7 a.m.
However, things began to take a turn for the worst around 8 a.m. when a severe headache came on to me oit of nowhere.
I couldn’t concentrate on anything.
The bed in the corner of my room looked so temptimg that I just wanted to lie down and do nothing for the rest of the day.
Using more Fancy words:
I just wanted to become a Stone for the rest of the day.
However, I already had a schedule prepared for the whole day.
- Study for Exams.
- Write a chapter on Novel.
- Write an Article on Medium.
- Read the Book I newly bought.
Just like that, I had a lot on my To-Do list for the day that I actually tried to push through my headache with painkiller tablets and oinments.
However, neither the painkillers nor the oinment worked enough to soothe my throbbing headache. Yet, I was pushing through, stubbornly and mindlessly.
Yes, mindlessly.
Because, after I finished my studying session and tried to remember the contents I’ve studied, I couldn’t remember a single thing.
My head was fully occupied with one single thought:
Oh God! This Headache is killing me.
When I tried to write articles and novel, I kept feeling unsatisfied with my work while my headache got worse over time.
When everything was going wrong in all the possible ways, that’s when I finally decided.
I decided to just become a Stone for the day.
Sure, my day was packed with a lot of things that needs to be done. But,
"You can’t make bricks without straw."
If my health isn’t at it’s best, I can’t do anything.
We need to stay healthy before we could run after our passions and Goals.
That’s why,
From time to time…
When life throws an obstacle our way that’s hard to tackle,
It’s okay to Become a Stone.
Take a step back out, rest your mind and body and prepare yourself well before you step back in to the ring to tackle that obstacle.
Because… At the end of the day,
What matters the most is neither work nor wealth but Your health and Happiness.
Hope y’all are doing well in this another beautiful day.
