when to chase and when to wait..

From my point of view, there are moments in life where you must do the hard work. That being whatever it is you need to do to reach your life goals.. and by life goals, I include everything else outside of your professional life.
Sometimes it's a partner, or a new apartment. Changing cars or buying your very first. These things take time and specific resources. But aside from this, there are times in life where you need to WAIT and maybe you'll be lucky to rest. Take some time off, travel or invest in hobbies such as Cooking, investing in your body/health, learning to paint or anything that they bottled up while you were a little kid. THIS, is just as important and you shouldn't allow yourself to work your life away..
