What is our attitude towards work? Do we work to live or live to work?

Day and night.

Death and birth.

Love and hate.

Flood and drought.

All of life is a balance between two extremes.

What if we not only worked to live, but also lived to work (because we enjoy the difference we make each day)?

What if?

Life’s (5) big choices: mind, body, spirit, money, hq

 

Personal responsibility is being able to choose our response

Everyday (think) positive: our thoughts, words, deeds, friends, what we watch, read, focus on.

Everyday (move) healthy: regular exercise, balanced diet, adequate rest.

Everyday (feel)  gratitude: all day, pray without ceasing and in our giving we receive.

Everyday (work) contribute: we study, hone, practice, execute, read, teach, write, review, correct, learn, launch, revise, repeat, ship.

Everyday (nest) organized: mindfully organize the placement, use, storage, and disposal of our stuff.

How to do work that matters

life choices
it's your move...go!

People have a choice, I think, in finding the “get to do” in their work and life. It’s a conscious choice. And a lifetime of daily focus and effort. It ain’t the magic that makes it work, it’s the work that makes it magic. The day I stopped focusing on the have to do’s and refocused on the get to’s…like night and day.
