My ex husband is a workaholic. During the weekend his favourite saying was this: “It is boring. I have nothing to do.” But during his work week, his favourite saying in the evening was: Boy did I work hard today. I am so tired”. Go figure, I guess he was never satisfied. Sorry about this comment. I just wanted to rant. I agree with you though about working for long hours to get your payment. I wish I had your energy.

Workaholic is like a drug addict? I guess so because as observed to those people who are said to be workaholic, they as if cannot live the whole day without doing a multi task. They cannot be satisfied with only one task they do. So for others, they work ’till midnight and then they woke up again as early as 4am just to do their work.

They are addicted with work, and that is why you compared it with drug addicts. As we all know, drug addicts depends on drugs to satisfy their body need, so as with workaholics, they feel contentment in doing full load of works daily.

My husband was a workaholic, which never left much time for us as a couple and if I ever spoke to him about this he would become angry which caused arguments. I resented feeling forgotten by him then one day we finally was able to actually sit and talk about our feelings he had been married before me and his exwife died from cancer after her death he dealt with his grief thru work, he and I met and eventually married but he was by that so use to working all the time he couldn’t see what he was doing to our marriage, after our talk he began to take days just for me and it helped our relationship greatly.

There is this saying that goes like “LET GO AND LET GOD” if you read between the lines you will understand what I mean by that statement. Though it is straight forward you don’t need to expound on it. It’s all about leaving everything to God. Don’t keep dwelling on the things that keep putting you down, sometimes it’s good to just lay on Jesus feet and let him do his work. Don’t keep stressing over stuff that you cannot change. When we pray to God, our words go up to him and he brings down answers. God let’s us go through stuff so that he can teach us something, or warn us, or protect us. We should not always take disappointments to be a bad thing, we should in fact embrace them because it’s through this trials that we get breakthroughs. Think about it this way you have to have a disappointment in your life to be able to get to your appointment. So don’t disregard them they happen for a pretty good reason. I am an example of such I have experienced so much pain and hurt in life but when I look back at it I realize that it was all for good course. If i didn’t go through the turmoils I would never have travelled to the places I did, i never would heave built the house that i built and so many other things. That’s why I look back and just thank God for his ever loving mercy and grace upon my life.

Trust in God and he will never fail us. His path leads to truth and freedom.

Thanks for sharing this. It’s so true to get the right person to be trusted. And, get the right information, always not easy in this modern world even though all the information are online.

Why should we argue with a fool. Doing so would also make us a fool, knowing that we cannot get any good answer from a person like that.

Anyway, maybe if one vented it out with a fool, he /she may never know what will be the reaction of a fool. Good if he only will laugh. But what about if he gets angry and slap you. Now , who is the fool ? ha ha ha

When you argue with a fool, you will also look like onebecause no one is going to know the difference between the two. If you get into an argument with someone, and you notice that that person just keeps going on and on and is not relenting even if they are wrong please just surrender and walk away, make them feel like they have won even though you know what is true. If you know what is right why sit there and listen to what the fool is saying you know your stand don’t waste your time. I am one of those people who really don’t like arguments, so I try to avoid them at all costs. Because it makes no sense to me to keep arguing when I know that whatever I say will not change the other persons mind. Just walk away.

I learned that foolish people never want to know what they are being foolish about so they will not listen if you try to tell them. The best way with a fool is to walk away and not engage in them as it puts you on an equal footing and wastes your energy. Spend time with those with enough wisdom inside them to understand they need to listen to advice as they may not always make wise decisions.

Politicians will always fight and when it comes down to it few will be really out just for the good of their country. Most people just get confused and let them get on with it. It is a shame because this leaves countries prone to chaos and dictatorships or corruption which gets too bit for the people on the ground to fight against. I have concluded that all we can do is pray and ask God to intervene in many of the world situations we see today.

I think it;s hard to ignore difficult people if they are more rich than you. You can’t avoid them because they have some social and financial power over you.

I have a lovely story to tell about my son. His caricatures have gone all over the world now. He is a sought after artist. At art school, a tramp asked him to do a caricature and tore it up saying he was hopeless. Instead of taking this as defeat as even a tramp thought his work was rubbish he determined to become a brilliant caricaturist and he has and a brilliant artist as well.

When we listen to others opinions we are often hyper critical of ourselves so we hear even the smallest criticism as a huge negative. The only way forward is to get on and do what you enjoy for your own sake.

There will always be people who have this “crab mentality”. They pull people when they see them succeeding in life.

That’s because they don’t want to be outdone by others, so they pull them down instead, by tainting their reputations and saying lies and making schemes to put them down.

They are envious people. They will also have their time of being pulled down, because karma goes round and round to people who have evil intentions to others.

There’s problems in every country some will have more than others. Once they’ve allowed a lot of injustices to place. They’ll have a difficult time getting the country back to normal. In time problems are solved. Not all at once but trying to solve some is better than letting the matters linger on.

There is nothing in life that does not change at a point in life. As we grow everyday we change in many parts of our life. Chhange is a must in every development. In life there are people who come into our lifes for the following reason. 1) To be a distruction 2) motivators 3) builders 4) forever partners 5) family
As we move on in life some of this people will fall along the road. change is therefore necessary.

Very nice message.I think change acceptance and then working hard for removing some bad things from past requires effort and support.

Good. It is hope that makes life meaningful.One should have hope for tomorrow.
