Is being too ambitious adding unnecessary stress ?

BlueVeins · 22-25

Yes, but that's only an issue if you're taking on more stress than you can safely and healthily handle. Stress is a normal part of life and can make us more productive and at times, happier as people.

@BlueVeins stress can't make anyone happy 🤔

@SimplyLogicalDiscipline Sure it can. A life with too much stress is uncomfortable and oppressive, but a life with no stress at all is dull and hazy. Human brains aren't really built to operate without it.

@BlueVeins that's what the research says,not sure hmm

Yes... I feel a lot better now that the stress of being forced to look for work that I can't do has been lifted from my shoulders - for now, at least.

Hopefully, one day I'll be able to go back to work - just not today.

@HootyTheNightOwl have you taken a break from work?

HootyTheNightOwl

@SimplyLogicalDiscipline No. I'm still caring for the thing that I married full time... now I am too sick to even do that properly and I'm expected to work full time, too.

It is stressful but once achieved, it's all worth it in the end.

@Beatbox34 what do you want to achieve?

Beatbox34 · 31-35, M

@SimplyLogicalDiscipline Tbh I want to move out and start a fresh life.

Now in order to achieve the above, the road will be hard. It can be uncertain too. I intend to work hard and buy a house of my own. I've lived in rented accomodations all my life. For once, I want to feel how it's like to have a place of your own.

I believe so. Although ambition is good, its not when you're driving yourself over the wall with it.
