Demons

What demons do you fight daily?

For me it’s the demon of survival.
Four jobs, 12h days, 5 days a week.
Clock in. Grind. Clock out.
Rinse. Repeat.
And before I know it, the year is over.

How many more years do I have to do this?
The grind is the demon.

How do we slay these demons?

But putting ourselves, our effort, our time, our heart, in something larger than our small selves.
When you protect only yourself, you’re the smallest version of that self.
But when you fight for your family, for a future uncertain yet exciting, for a better life for everyone you love.

That’s when the demons die.

The grind still exists, though.
The work doesn’t get any easier.
But the demon is no longer there.

Just light and lightness.
