I think the main point in balancing broadly defined issues is to know when to say to oneself, “Enough is enough.”
When it comes to balancing the various aspects of our lives, the key is to recognize when we’ve reached a point where we can say to ourselves, ‘This is enough.’ This realization often comes from deep self-reflection, a process that allows us to understand our true needs and desires. Most people (with me at the forefront) have a problem telling themselves, “Enough is enough.” I could provide many examples of it. One of the main obvious is the one connected with money earning. Most of us have a tendency to tell ourselves we should always aim for more and more wealth.
I think it is pretty usual behavior and a positive attitude, unless our health, love of hobby or relations with beloved ones, friends and family are becoming worse because we want more and more.
It is a moment we should say to ourselves, “Stop.” I am not an exception. The truth is that I also want to earn more and more. Still, I do not want to do it by sacrificing my relationship with my beloved Kamilka, my Parents, family, and friends and devoting less and less time to street photography, writing, and managing the www.adammazek.com website. I wrote many times here, on my blog, that I was not born to earn money. It is not the ultimate aim of my life.
Money must help me reach many goals, including being actively artistically productive until my final days.
That’s why I try to tell myself the title of this post; quite often when I dream of becoming a millionaire. The truth is that I do not want to be the one. I want to be one of the most prolific and profound photographers/writers/bloggers/artists, or whoever creative souls stomped on this planet. Creation is my aim. I wrote this text on the 7th of March, 2024, when I was 38. I believe I have still 62 creative years ahead of me. I want to spend this time actively and productively.
