I wish 3 day weekend and 6-hour workday was the norm across the world.

Lucky Finlanders. She seems too kind and beautiful a PM. IDK.

For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ. —2 Corinthians 10:5

Pray against the spirits of rejection and shame. Cast down every lie and refute it with God’s truth. Who does the Lord say you are?

Yours in His Service,

~Bella

Many of us do, Sunshine. But if I may be so intrusive, I presume that you are a lot like myself in this regard, in that you probably also worry much more about going so far in the opposite direction trying to correct your deficit in self-confidence (and consequently putting yourself down) that you become arrogant, narcissistic, and judgmental of others. And since that is the worse extreme end of the spectrum to you, your fear of becoming that keeps you at the opposite end (low self-confidence and constant self-debasing).

If I pretty much got this right about you - and it is not my intention to be condescending to you in making this assumption about you, just my attempt to empathize and make you feel better - then I understand. I myself always figured that, if I have such a problem finding the proper balance between the two extremes, then I would still rather be on the end of self-debasing and being too much of a pushover, for I consider the opposite end (general arrogance and narcissism) to be a much, much greater evil. I know it isn't much, but all I can suggest to you is that you pray to the Lord to give you the right balance in this and all other things in life.

I know you aren't those things, Sunshine. I only wondered if you were worried about becoming those things when trying to be more self-confident. And I have no idea why someone would ever call you narcissistic, because I have never seen you act anywhere near like that.

Boy so do I, Gospel S. So do I.

I wouldn't even necessarily require vacation days every now and again if I could make the same amount of money - or at least close to it - just working four days a week, six hours a day at the lab, with a three-day weekend every time. I am sure I would be more motivated to get out there and take care of other business in life or pursue hobbies on my days off every week in that case, as in anything no matter how much I might tire myself out doing other things on the days off, I know I will soon have an opportunity again soon to rest just four more short workdays away.

People say many things we should ignore. Rest in your spiritual identity and pray against the spirit of anxiety (with the others). *hugs*

Covid restrictions are difficult for everyone. Especially children. God willing, we'll be able to resume normal activities next year. A little travel would do us good.
