I’m tired of being called a workaholic, as though my commitment to what I am doing is some sick compulsion that once I come to my senses, I’ll be trying to get over. I LOVE what I do, and when I think about my “job” I’m reminded of this Will Rogers quote:
“The finest
day in a man’s life is when he falls in love with his work, because then he
never has to go to work again.”
I don’t feel like I am “going to work” when I spend time on
The Wellness Forum every day. What I do
is generally fun, and I can even choose where I am going to do some things
(some of you may not know, but evening conference calls and webinars are often
done while in my jammies at home with the cat; I am writing this entry from our
home on Lake Erie, and sometimes I go home in the middle of the day to get some
sun, clear my head and write outside in peace and quiet.
So, I am writing today in the sun because it is what I want
to do. I am working hard at building The
Wellness Forum because it is my choice – I cannot think of anything I would
rather be doing than this.
