It's only work...

When you would rather be doing something else.

That's also why people say you should find something you would like to
do for "work" and you won't be working anymore.

Some have come to me having trouble with this concept...think of it
this way...if you are happy while working, then it really isn't work,
is it.

And while some work, by itself, may not be the most fun, we can sure
spin it, and make it fun...once we do that, we are happy and we really
aren't working anymore:)

Back in the day...

"If you were happy when you were working, then you were not working",
which was a bad thing...and people were told to wipe that smile from
their face and put their nose to the grindstone.

Things have changed, but not all of the views have.

Some that come through Zappos seeing happy people, working and having
fun, and can't quite see how things get done...maybe the new saying is:

"If you are happy when you are working, you are not working", which is
a good thing, because if you are happy and enjoy doing something, you
are in bliss and studies show that you are more productive and creative
while in bliss.

New perceptions can take time to reach the tipping point, so let's all keep
being happy while working, until the rest catch on...and ultimately we
will be helping to deliver Happiness to the World.

A recent study that went out...

Asked people:

"What was the biggest waste time throughout their life"?

Waiting wasn't the answer.

Working wasn't the answer.

Time spent in a bad relationships wasn't the answer.

The answer was...Worrying.

Yes, the # 1 answer that people felt was a waste of their time was
"Worrying".

Good luck in not wasting Your time.

Finally...

It's the end of what has been a long week...of a long journey.

And we've all have taken our lumps along the way, as well as some
expended emotions.

With the election over, we are embarking on a new journey and our new focus is that of Unity.

So maybe we can spend our weekend in reflection and rest, allowing us
to come back next week Unified, not only as a country, but in our
working and personal lives as well.

We can't do much alone, but we can all do our part to move powerfully
into our future...with all of us Unified...and all of us helping to
make this world a better place.

Yours in "Thank You All" - Coach
