When You're OFF THE GRID, OFF THE GRIND

When You're OFF THE GRID, OFF THE GRIND

When You're OFF THE GRID, OFF THE GRIND.  Those are scenarios we hardly thought of or even anticipated more often than not.  BUT before anything else, let us align as to what OFF THE GRID really means?  Simply put, if you're NOT tied to a physical grid OR network, then you live OFF THE GRID, which means you WON'T even have electrical power OR water connection.  BUT we'll discuss When You're OFF THE GRID, OFF THE GRIND from the context of living our life💡💡💡

Unfortunately, moving OFF THE GRID is often associated with criminals and fugitives, extremists and even cults, NOT quite WHAT most people want to be associated with just because they're NOT connected to a power grid.  Going OFF THE GRID is also something backpackers and people WHO enjoy slow travel experiences. It could be finding out that cave you want to explore OR it could be as easy as turning off your mobile phone OR gadget at night.  In that sense, 'GOING OFF THE GRID' might be enjoyable💥💥💥

Most of the time, though, WHEN you hear OFF THE GRID, it is more associated with PREPAREDNESS OR wilderness survival, whether that's for a weekend hideaway OR as a way of life.  These days, I'd like to tie this up to living 'OFF THE BEATEN PATH' as it immediately creates the association of NOT having a lot of people around us, NOT having easy access to a lot of modern goods and services and without having people WHO think they do know better to tell us that we're NOT REALLY OFF THE GRID.  And generally, I found that there are many groups and opinions within the OFF THE GRID living community, from vegans to people WHO raise their own animals for meat, etc💥💥💥

And there could be more,  LIKE people WHO bathe in luxury to people WHO only have bare necessities, from people WHO grow their own food and try to live a more sustainable life to people WHO couldn't care less and drive hours every week just to get their favorite brands from the supermarket, from people WHO live in the middle of the city BUT got disconnected from the GRIDS, to people WHO live in the middle of nowhere.  WHETHER you want to consider living OFF THE GRID quite literally OR figuratively, either way, be prepared with the possible outcomes of your forays💚💛💜

Our takeaway:  We've heard all these.  Keep grinding.  Keep hustling.  Sleep WHEN you're dead.  We've all heard these trite mantras about harder than others.  The dream being sold us is that IF you work hard enough, harder than others, that you too can have it all.  There's even an idea I've never really understood.  THAT time is a zero-sum game.  THAT every hour spent at work is an hour NOT spent with your family and vice versa.  In fact and in truth. you literally CAN'T have it all.  If you choose to make your work your priority, that time will NOT be spent with your family.  And if you choose to grind for 16 hours a day in hopes that one day it pays off, YES you might get there.  So dude, WHEN YOU'RE OFF THE GRID, OFF THE GRIND, you're NOT that OFFGRID as long as you're ON THE GRID for the big-ticket tasks dude😃😃😃
