What is important?

What is important in your life?

Earning money
Driving a nice car
Living in a comfortable house...

After all, what lies beyond obtaining those things?

Is it the desire to enrich your time with your family?
To see your family happy?
Or perhaps
To enrich your own life?
To make your own life comfortable?

Is that what you are thinking?

And

The good feeling you have when you obtain those things, when you experience them.

You want to feel that,
which is why you earn money and want to acquire various things, right?

However,

you get so caught up in "earning money" that
you tend to forget what is actually important to you.

Because you value your work so much,
do you worry about your evaluation at the workplace and push yourself too hard,
putting time with your children, time with your family, and time for yourself
on the back burner?

Are you worrying too much about what others think, fearing that you might inconvenience people at work?

Why not direct a little of that sincerity and sense of responsibility toward yourself?

You don't need to change your environment suddenly.
You don't need to quit your job right away.

"What is it that I want to value right now?"

Just increasing the time you spend asking yourself that question is enough.

The choices you make at that time might lead to inconveniencing someone.
Your evaluation might go down.

But, will the people who evaluate you, or the people who tell you not to cause trouble (or who seem to be saying that),
live your life for you?

You are the only one who can live your life.

Please try to value your own senses and your own feelings,
even if it's just by a millimeter more
than you do now.
