I just wanna be OK

You are young. You are restless. You are full of ideas. Each one of them seems better than the last and you just want to make all of them. You are hungry for much more and this hunger becomes stronger with every day. Every action is a step forward and every moment is an opportunity. you work the weekends and pull late nights. You live to brainstorm and brainstorm to survive. You are a young executive.

I am one of you. A young entrepreneur. A young guy. And I love this life. The rush of new ideas and the thrill of brainstorming. There is nothing better than a well executed idea or even an attempt and failure is just another experience. We don’t want to slow down no matter what for we fear that the momentum is critical. Working gives us a kind of a high and this is a buzz we don’t wanna lose. But what most of us do not realise that we are pushing us towards an inevitable burnout. For most of us it is short, temporary and fixable by a decent break but it can come to stay. The thirst to move forward and constantly perform sometime changes our perception and a less eventful day starts to seem as a loss. We stop counting the smaller accomplishments and only aim high. We forget that that bigger goals take time and the unit of life is a day. Today loses its value for us and this is where things go astray. Today is always the most important day of ones life. And it’s necessary that today goes great. Great should always be the aim and one should be happy with OK. For an OK today means a day well spent and that you can make tomorrow great. Your OK might be different from mine but please learn to accommodate OK.
