Should You Work And Work And Work And Wait For The Payoff Later Or Should You Enjoy Yourself Now?

It all depends on what you drive joy from.

The most successful, in monetary terms, and probably achievement, enjoy working, grinding, moving closer towards something meaningful. For the person that achieves longevity, the money is usually a side-effect.  They like doing what they are doing and they need to do it to be who they are. On the flip side, you could die crossing the street tomorrow.  Is it really worth putting yourself unnecessarily through all that hardships rather than going to that party, buying that car, spending time with your family? 

Well, probably not.  However, what if you do not die tomorrow? What if you live to be 100 plus? You have a lot of time left AND it is going to go quickly. What are you going to do with it? Why not do it all?

Just like tasks, you can batch things. Why not spend some amount of time, that could be a week, a month or a year, solely focussed on building your business, then take some time off? Or, like eating healthy, focus on being how you want to behave 80% of the time and take one day a week off to do anything that you want.

In the hyper-connected world that we live, the reality is that you can probably do it all.  The only thing that will stop you is not doing anything at all or spending too much time on one thing at the expense of the rest. 

You can still keep up to date on binge-watching Netflix as long as this is not the only thing you do. You can go travelling and party as long as you are working on something for the future too.

There are examples of success all around you of how different people did it.  All with different balances.  The common thread? No one did it without hard work.  If you love what you do, then you are halfway there.
