The first piece of advice that parents say to those who will soon be first-time parents is “enjoy your sleep while you can”. I understand that that is probably good advice, and you won’t get much sleep as a new parent, but, is that a bad thing?
Having a baby is one one the biggest and most beautiful blessings in life. I’d much rather experience precious time with my baby than to sleep any day.
I think the saying “enjoy your sleep while you can” can go towards anything that you are truly passionate about and care about. When you really care about something (or someone), sleep should be the least of importance. When you’re expecting a baby, you enjoy your sleep until your baby comes. After that, parenthood really kicks in, and there are things that need to be done with your baby that are more valuable than sleeping.
If you have big goals and aspirations in life, but you’re still enjoying your sleep a little too much, maybe you haven’t really started to pursue that goal of yours yet. The same way I can still enjoy my sleep right now because my baby hasn’t been born yet.
Nothing comes to sleepers but a dream. Wake up and follow your dreams. It’s possible.
