The ideal would be to own a business or work in a job that fulfills every desire we have, and to have this business or job allow perfect balance in your life. How do we decide what trumps what? Live to work or work to live? Are you just following the money, so the 9 - 5 ; Monday to Friday grind is fine for you? I think making a living goes way beyond accumulating a large bank account. But what about joy, peace, freedom, satisfaction and happiness? I have found the answer in a very simple mind shift. I have habitually viewed what I do in my life, whether that be business, work or personal as hard. No fun. Just must do whatever is required. Not a prescription for joy, peace, freedom, satisfaction and happiness. So, here's what I do now. I regard what I am doing as an adventure. If I am doing laundry, looking for a parking spot, talking to a client or spending time with my grandkids...it is an adventure. I approach it with huge curiosity. What's going to happen? How will I feel? What will I learn? How can I make this fun? And this makes ALL the difference. The mundane is now spectacular.
As you take two minutes to consider peace for our world, think about your life as an adventure.
