"Doing nothing equates to being unproductive"βand all the lies Iβm unlearning.
I used to hear that phrase where the age brackets 21-23 is like a rollercoaster ride. Gearing from the usual societal script of life, it's the transition period between being a student to a young professional.
You just don't know where to start, to the extent of asking are there really opportunities waiting for you, or you just have no blueprint at the momentβgiving you the need to start from scratch?
I honestly have no idea because as of writing this, if feels like I am on hold. There are things in front of me, but there's a part of me that's very curious of what's ahead of me. People who are close to me knows that I am the type of person who does not want to have a vacant schedule. It's somehow my toxic belief that doing nothing equates to being unproductiveβ always, this leads me to experiencing burnout.
Hoorah. That's me nowβin my burnout seasonβaloof from people, not because I am mad, but because I have been forgetting to pause. Not really to evaluate life, but to just pause and take things slow. In the end, I think it's just too early for me to grind (career wise + p.s, this grind part is my personal experience, but if you are the person who needs to grind asap, I wish you well π).
But you know what, even in my burnout state, I am glad to be surrounded by people who would remind me to take it slow, and always declaring that there will be open doors for me career wise in God's time. I kid you not, when I finally decided to slow down, it just felt so rightβto be in this actively waiting season just feels so right.
As I end this, if you believe in God, I just want to share these verses He impressed to me just recently:
[28] Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.β β Matthew 11:28-30 ESV
[22] Bondservants, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. [23] Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, [24] knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. β Colossians 3:22-24 ESV
Have a great week ahead. π
