Thank Goodness It's Friday

“Human beings are the only animals who have to work, and I think that is the most ridiculous thing in the world. Other animals make their livings by living, but people work like crazy, thinking that they have to in order to stay alive. The bigger the job, the greater the challenge, the more wonderful they think it is. It would be good to give up that way of thinking and live an easy, comfortable life with plenty of free time. I think that the way animals live in the tropics, stepping outside in the morning and evening to see if there is something to eat, and taking a long nap in the afternoon, must be a wonderful life. For human beings, a life of such simplicity would be possible if one worked to produce directly his daily necessities. In such a life, work is not work as people generally think of it, but simply doing what needs to be done.” by Masanobu Fukuoka

What do you think? Is it possible to make a living by living or do we have no choice but to make a living by working?  One of my mentors is teaching me that it is possible to design your "work" around your lifestyle. I do not have this all figured out, but I am committed to this path and am finding harmony and peace at a deeper level between my inner and outer worlds.  I hear people say."Thank goodness it's Friday."  Breaks my heart. This is spirit crushing, not living. I do know when you begin to be curious about possibilities, change happens.

As you take two minutes to consider peace for our world today, think about how you can make a living by living and create more peace in your inner and outer world.
