Have you ever tried working 2 - 3 jobs a day at 12 - 18 hours/day, sleep, eat and play aren't yet included? What kept you going?
Each one of us may had gone to the point of working 24 hours a day even without sleep to reach the needs we want for our families, putting food in the table, sheltering and clothing them warmly, and the comfort of having nice things for their convenience where in the back end it will yield the results or life we want for wife and kids.
Many people had their own reasons why they need to be a slave to their time in exchange for money. Three reasons I found in general is all about GIVING:
Surviving - physiological needs, we work to live, not only for ourselves but also for our families, but while doing that you always have an option and choice to make your life and your families future better more than a job can afford. We give time, effort and hard work in exchange for a paycheck.
Have you ever been in a "rut",
"RUT" - a habit or pattern of behavior that has become dull and unproductive but is hard to change.
"the administration was stuck in a rut and was losing its direction"
synonyms: | boring routine, humdrum existence, habit, dead end |
Saving - we save for something we want for the later and only 20% of the population save and invest, we give and pay ourselves first, which means we get a portion from our paychecks and save it until we're ready to invest it into something. 80% save and spend on "doodads" - thing that depreciates and doesn't have a value (clothes, gadgets, etc)., If you check around your home, see the things around the storage room, there are a lot of doodads aren't used or being used for just an hour or two every week.
Lastly, its Serving and only 2% of the population does this, they had accumulated lots of surviving and saving to give and contribute to their communities because they had enough, they had more than enough to give. From where did they started? They're just like you who did the same things, work and play but had that Need x Faith = Self Motivation stronger than their fears. And only you yourself can keep that in check, are your faith stronger than your fears.
"Work like it all depends on you, and Pray like it all depends on God." - St. Ambrose
There are a lot more significant reason each one of us had. I only pointed this three because of the values their giving. You can't serve people if you don't know how to save yourself, You can't save and serve if don't have enough for survival.
