Made an illustration just because it's Friday :) Enjoy!

Is this love?

Work ethic breeds work ethic.

The more you work, the more you can work. Like when building muscle - you work it out until you have a kind of fitness towards work. It's like the South African credit act...You need credit to get credit. - Silly as that may seem it works.

The terms of our credit act are in place to ensure that you are reliable enough to be trusted with the states/a given organization's money. The more debt you have and pay, the more debt you qualify for. It's  the same as work. - The more work you do, the more apt you are to take on more work. If you keep postponing your plans because you have "sooo much work to do" you'll never know who it feels to be able to do both.

We've all heard of or know someone who is the same age as us and has a nine-to-five job, a growing enterpreneurial venture, a rigid gym schedule, an amazing social life, a stable relationship and does a formidable amount of charity work through their church! LIKE WTF And you wonder how on earth???? You have one job and a part-time degree and can barely finish that oh-so-promising business plan you started ages ago! :(

Well here's my theory: The day we decide to change our perception of time/lack thereof, is the day we'll have more time. As soon as yew stop perceiving ourselves as too busy or too tired we'll have no choice but to be inventive with our time. Not in the Sade in her King Of Sorrow music video kind of way but in the kind of way that does not accept procrastination.

I realized that on some days I stay off the streets of twitter for instance and I'm able to cover the amount of work that could potentially take me three days. And then by the time I do check twitter I realize the triviality I would have been actively participating in. Time is currency and we must be thrifty with it, there's not ever gonna be a refund of all the minutes and seconds we waste.

I know for instance I am definitely way more "work fit" than what I used to be even a year ago. It's a paradigm shift we all need to undergo and I'm by no means saying that I've metamorphosed into a an asian worker-bee, but it's a little different now the amount of the work I can do without flinching. - makes me feel a tad lazy in fact. One just has to keep pushing.

This post is entirely random - but then again so am I. I'm just arbitrarily making my way through what is called child-to-adult transition and sometimes I feel the need to share a few nuggets of info I pick up along the way.

Just try to work despite feeling "train-trampled" sometime, I guarantee once you're done you'll feel more accomplished than a virgin teen boy after prom night. (and it's an addictive feeling) *Smirk* #OrYourMoneyBack

But you guys know I'm no expert so...

Florence And The Machine

Regrets collect like old friendsHere to relive your darkest momentsI can see no way, I can see no wayAnd all of the ghouls come out to playAnd every demon wants his pound of fleshBut I like to keep some things to myselfI like to keep my issues drawnIt's always darkest before the dawn
And I've been a fool and I've been blindI can never leave the past behindI can see no way, I can see no wayI'm always dragging that horse aroundAnd our love is pastured such a mournful soundTonight I'm gonna bury that horse in the groundSo I like to keep my issues drawnBut it's always darkest before the dawn
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaahShake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaaahAnd it's hard to dance with a devil on your backSo shake him off, oh woah
I am done with my graceless heartSo tonight I'm gonna cut it out and then restartCause I like to keep my issues drawnIt's always darkest before the dawn
[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/shake-it-out-lyrics-florence-and-the-machine.html ]Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaahShake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaahAnd it's hard to dance with a devil on your backSo shake him off, oh woahAnd it's hard to dance with a devil on your back so shake him off
And given half the chance would I take any of it backIt's a fine romance but its left me so undoneIt's always darkest before the dawn
Oh woah, oh woah...
And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don'tSo here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my roadAnd I'm ready to suffer and I'm ready to hopeIt's a shot in the dark and right at my throatCause looking for heaven, found the devil in meLooking for heaven, found the devil in meWell what the hell I'm gonna let it happen to me
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaahShake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaahAnd it's hard to dance with a devil on your backSo shake him off, oh woah
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaahShake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaahAnd it's hard to dance with a devil on your backSo shake him off, oh woah
