The only thing they look forward to in life is the next weekend. What a prison to live in.
If you find yourself in the shoes of complaining about it being Monday, then unfortunately you need to re-assess your current direction in life. What is the purpose of your job? Where is it getting you? What do you value most? How will this check off the to-do’s on your bucket list?

We are living examples that prove you can live on your mission with your heart full of love and the rest of you full of passion. Life is too short to be sad. When life has more negatives than positives, change it. Find someone who is doing what you want to do, and get them to show you the way. Get out of your shitty daily grind and get moving towards the things that are important to you. For only then you shall have everything you need in life, and Monday becomes another day for you to check off meaningful to-do’s that fill you with fulfilment.
