The Rat Race

Is The Rat Race Culture Taking Over Your Life?

It’s 7.30 in the morning and my peace is broken by the car doors clunking and engines starting from the people who live down my road who subscribe to the rat race culture we have in our country and around the world.

They are all scurrying around and desperate to get their position on the road for the reward of a slow arduous journey into work.

Desperate to get their seats on the bus or train only to get there and find that someone has beaten them to it and they will have to stand all the way.

Is this really what people want I ask myself? Are they really happy doing this day after day? Surely they would like to escape the rat race instead of carrying on like this!

For a second I thought how lucky I was and then I realised that luck had nothing to do with it. Over 20 years ago I made the decision to get out of the rat race and these people have the opportunity to do the same.

Memories came flooding back to me of my life back in the day of road rage, stress and taking the odd risk overtaking cars when I really should have known better in order to get to work on time.

Life for me now is totally different. Whilst my neighbours are off on the rat run I am just laying in bed with a cup of coffee watching Sky News. My working day never starts before 9.00am. What I mean is that is the time when I leave home to work within my cleaning business or when I start work at home in my internet business.

I only have to drive about 5 miles and it seems like I am the only one on the road, that’s because everybody else is eventually tucked up safe and sound behind their desks.

It’s even better when I am working from home within my internet business. I literally only have to walk to the next room when I get up in the morning.

I have a happy medium. I have organised my cleaning business so that I am home by 3.30 at the latest. That then allows me to spend a couple of hours to work on my internet business if I have to. It also allows me to get home before the afternoon rush hour begins where everybody is scurrying around again.

They say the normal working day is 9.00am-5.00pm. Quite frankly they don’t know what they are talking about. If you are involved in the typical rat race society then a truer reflection would be 7.30am-6.00pm!

By the time you get home your are tired. All you want to do is have a family dinner, maybe watch a bit of television and get an early night. This happens 5 days a week. Every day you are getting on your hamster wheel and get the sense of deja vu.

So now it is 8.45am in my world and I better start thinking about going to work but only after I have taken my dog out for a walk.

Then I will have to endure the snail race. A world of quiet roads and no stress. It’s a tough life but somebody has got to do it!

In all seriouness though if you are living this rat race lifestyle you may feel that there is no way out. You may have been brainwashed to a certain extent and have been told that this is the only way for you to live your life.

To get up in the morning, work 40hours or more a week, do that for forty odd years and then collect your pension. If you are happy with this then all well and good.

If you are not then I would strongly encourage you to watch a video presentation which will show you other options that are available to you that you never thought were possible.

You can watch the video by CLICKING HERE. It won’t cost you anything to watch it but it may just give you some clarity and the opportunity to get off that hamster wheel and finally escape the rat race.

As always I wish you well
