Live To Friday

Friday, what a great day, the end of the week, usually means a break from work. Then comes Saturday, another great simple day, no work, just take it easy. After that comes good ol’ lazy Sunday. Then everything falls down the cliff when we get to Monday. At least that’s how it is for most people, especially students. However, is it right to live to Friday? Well today let’s address what it means to “live to Friday”, why it’s wrong, and a better way to live.

Living to Friday, it's a fairly self-explanatory term, but it has a few hard to see roots. The trunk of the tree, "living to Friday," means that you get up from Monday to Thursday waiting for Friday, and with that, the weekend, Saturday and Sunday. You wake up and count how many days until Friday, you get up and complain that it's not Friday yet, and all you can think of is getting the day over with, going to bed, and waking up, until finally that sweet day known as Friday comes. What is a little harder to notice is the unhappiness, the negativity, and the bad effects this way of thinking has. These people aren't usually productive, they do what they have to and get to bed, just to call it a day as soon as possible, and they wake up unhappy because it's not Friday, Saturday, or Sunday.

This is not a good thing. This will as stated above lower your productivity, happiness, and all in all your motivation to get through the day. It's a terrible way to live because it isn't helping you. What's it gonna do for you when Friday comes? What changes exactly, instead of working, instead of doing things you "don't want to do," you get to sit there and do nothing? Yeah, that's not an upgrade, you are wasting your time. Then you once again make yourself sad because on Sunday, while sure nothing to do, you remember half way through the day, that this endless cycle is going to start again. It's not a good feeling.

Which begs the question, how should you live? Well first off understand that if you're "living to Friday," you don't like the things you're doing Monday through Thursday, this is why you want a break, not even a break you want to stop doing these things you hate, which there's nothing wrong with that, except. Why are you doing things you hate? If it's school I understand, you need to go under law, or you want to do something that requires schooling. If that's the case then stop living like this, you need to remember the light at the end of the tunnel, not the burnt out match on the ground, which is Friday. Your goal has no weekday, your goal is something you want to achieve, do not live like this if what you're doing is work you have to do, to do work you want to do. If this is not the case and you're simply doing something you hate, here's the advice I can give you, and most successful people would give, stop doing it. It's that simple. Start doing what you love, start doing what you want to do, or start doing what you need to do, to do what you want to. Live your life waking up every morning and being excited that the clock has reset, that you have another 10-13 hours of time that you can use to do anything. Wake up on Monday with a smile and say, another day, because every day can be a Friday, if you have the right thoughts.

That’s it, living to Friday, the negative effects it has, and living for everyday, living a better way. I see so many people living to Friday, I myself am guilty for this, and because I realized how I was living I’ve come to understand that it’s not right. I started thinking about better ways then I remembered those cliché’s of living everyday, and realized that it’s right. Live your life in a way were everyday is a good day, where every day, can be a Friday. I want to conclude this with a quote I thought of recently. "No matter what you do Friday will come, but if you do nothing your dream will never come." With that I’ll see you next week, peace.
