Hello Hive

This is the story of my life and the reality of our time that most people engage in rigorous pursuit of their career goals, financial stability and other adventures completely forgetting that they(we) need a sound mind and a healthy body to achieve all those goals, or possible after achieving our goals we need some quality health to enjoy our fortunes.

I remember while I was learning fashion designer as an apprentice and studied the lifestyle of my boss. She works on the machine for about 18hours in a day, drafting patterns, cutting ✂️ and sewing fabrics, stitching, ironing and packaging these outfits to be sent to her clients from all over the country. She has customers from all over the world. You can check out her page named @Taimah Outfits/Taimah fabrics and Boutique stores. She has engaged in constant sleepless nights back to back to finish up with orders and just when we think that she is about to get some rest, another line/order of clothes comes in for her to work on and hence work continues.

I have never seen her go on work vacation, enterpreneurs can equally go on holiday just like every other workers. Her only compulsory holiday is the one she is forced to rest when her systems breaks down and she feels unwell. After taking care of herself for a while and she gets back up on her feet again, the normal work routine continues.
There is this habit I also found with her which took a while before she eventually stop it(it has a negative health consequences),she is fond of consuming Energy drinks that contains high amount of caffeine, this helps to keep her eyes open all through the night so that she can work without having sleep interfering, this is almost like fighting the natural law and order of things in order to achieve her goals.

Today she has risen to be among one of the top designers of our time and her skills and status are enviable(emulatable). Once I had tried to apply this lifestyle to my own life and I ended up in grave danger only to realize that we are built differently and have different capacity. Although I have learnt to work hard too and be deliberate about my goals in life. I may never be able to wear her size of shoes but will work to achieve my own success at my own pace. Nevertheless we must be mindful of our lifestyle and life's goal pursuit to ensure that this does not threaten our health and peace of mind in the end.

Some of the policies I have put in place to keep my peace, health and well being in check while pursuing my life's goals are these

• I made sure to eat some quality diet everyday. Regardless of inflation our body needs a lot of vegetables, fruits and fluid which are very cheap compared to the lots of starchy foods my country people eat. Vegetables and fruits provided us with vitamins and fibres necessary to protects our system from certain disease. Drinking portable water lowers our body temperature lubricates the joint and remove waste products from the body.
  One special vegetable I love so much is fluted pumpkins, they keep my PCV in check and reduced the risk of anemia

• Eat quality homemade meals more often rather than snacking on junks in a bid to save more time for work.

• Dairy products is good for our health and we will go ourselves the favour of minimizing carbonated drinks

• Exercise/leisure and quality rest revitalizes our system
  It's never a bad idea to take a break from work once in a while. Split your goals in pieces and after every achievement, take time to rest and celebrate yourself.

• Constant medical checkup as early detection makes some disease curable/manageable

• Keeping quality Social life, the right company will not frustrate our efforts rather we get quality advice, encouragement and networking that will makes our goals easily achievable. In this case your quality network will be a worthy net worth in the end.

Conclusion

One thing I have come to realize in life is that I am in no competition with anyone and once I have put in my very best in anything, I am at peace at whatever the outcome maybe for fate has a way of rewarding our hard labour. We need a healthy body and mind to enjoy life.
