I can't accept the fact that I have been working for most of my life. How should I adjust my mentality?

There is a saying on the wall of Harvard Library: Please enjoy the inevitable pain. Change or accept, there is no third way!

I used to think the same way as you. Before the age of 25, he built roads in state-owned enterprises and worked in other places all the year round. Except for the Spring Festival, I basically have no rest days and have to work overtime every day. In 2003, my monthly salary was 2000 yuan. At that time, I paid an account, 24,000 yuan a month, and I didn't eat or drink until I retired for 40 years, less than one million. Am I worth 65438+ in my life? Is it too cheap? Money is one thing. What bothers me most is that I have no free time at all. I want to be free, but I have to endure it for another 35 years. I really can't stand this life's confession, so I decided to go to naked resignation at the age of 25. Although I was completely unprepared at that time, I could do nothing but build roads. I suffered many setbacks and blows after going out, but even in the most difficult time, I don't want to go back. After five years of self-study and growth, I finally gained a firm foothold in the Internet industry. At the age of 365,438+0, he resigned from the internet company again and went home to do freelance work, realizing complete time freedom. Until now, I have been working at home for more than ten years. It is no exaggeration to say that in the years of freelancing 10, I spent no more than four hours on the job every day on average, but now my income is nearly 100 times that when I worked in a state-owned enterprise. Of course, this is a long process, during which I experienced a lot of pressure and setbacks, but as a great writer said, if I were given another chance to choose, I would still live a fiery life. Whether working, freelancing or starting a business, life is not good or bad. As long as you like what you do, even if it is a career that no one likes, you will be happy if you enjoy it. The saddest thing about people is that they dare not be themselves, but they dare not go to work. People live a long life. If you do something you don't like every day, you will feel very long and difficult. On the contrary, if you do what you like every day, you will feel that life is short and beautiful. Therefore, no matter whether your life is long or short, you should choose the person you like and do what you like. No matter what the final outcome of your life is, you can at least give yourself an explanation: I have not lived in vain in my life. Lu Xun said that if you want stability, you have to sacrifice freedom, and if you want freedom, you have to experience some risks. You can't have it both ways. Everyone has their own primitive impulses in life. Listen to his innermost voice. There is no right or wrong, only whether you like it or not.
