Work hard, Play harder!

I have recently come to understand that just working hard in life will not ensure us great personal success. Nor does it ensure great financial success for that matter! Hard work needs to be mixed with such core values as, integrity, compassion, vision, and a deep driving desire to reap the greatest rewards.Most importantly, having a joyful disposition will make even the most difficult of workdays smoother and more enjoyable. How dreadful a thing it is to not find joy in what you do and how you live.

I have witnessed people who are labeled "workaholics" who work night and day, yet don't seem to have any satisfaction either in their pocketbook nor in the area of personal accomplishment. The lives of these people sadden me deeply because I value life, I know that our time is our greatest commodity. Our time cannot be bought nor sold, it is PRICELESS and IRREPLACEABLE, so it is important to use the precious hours and days, minutes and seconds of our life and our time with the greatest of care. What good is a 16hr work day if it hasn't helped you to move any closer to your goals or desires?

I am a firm believer that small chunks of time used everyday to work on our life goals will without a doubt reward us with our hearts desire in time. The key,however, is to be CONSISTENT. This is a VERY VALUABLE way of spending one's time.

Our day's work should not end at the end of a work day. Especially if we are working for someone else doing something that we don't love. Instead, our workday should just be begining! Instead of parking ourselves in front of the TV night after night right after supper, why not get down to the business of LIVING! MOVING! PLAYING! Even if you love your job, that isn't a reason to stop dreaming and planning and living.
I don't know about you, but I know that I definately do NOT want to live to pay my bills!

So, try something different tonight after work and supper. Go for a long walk with someone you love, or take up a class that teaches something that intrigues you. Read a book, do some exercise, just try it...You can do it! I believe in you ( :
If you need ideas of what to do, then try writing down some of the dreams or goals or any interest that you have and then try to chose an activity that will be a fun way to explore those interest or goals.


If you have a crush on an italian guy at work, then take an italian class for beginners, practice with your crush...who knows where that can lead ( ;
If you have always wanted to learn how to knit, start up a knitting group that meets once a week to just chat, knit and enjoy some good times.
Have a sweet tooth? Take up a baking class! I'm sure you get the point by now, if not...then let me spell it out for you... HAVE FUN, amuse yourself and enjoy yourself, doing something thing that is foreign to you. You never know where this may lead you!

~Think and grow rich- Napoleon Hill~

Strange and varied are the ways of life, and stranger still are the ways of infinite intelligence, through which people are sometimes forced to undergo all sorts of punishment before discovering their own brains, and their own capacity to create useful ideas tthrough imagination.

~ 1 Corinthians 2:9~

But as it is written, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.
