I used to have a really good job. I used to make lots of money. I used to be happy. But then it changed. I found myself unhappy. The money was great but 'for me' the trade-off was harmful, unhealthy & unfulfilling.

"Yes, money has been a little bit tight lately. But, at the end of my life, when I'm sitting on my yacht, am I going to be thinking about much money I have? No. I'm going to be thinking about, how many friends I have. And my children. And my comedy albums. I mean, I have a yacht so I obviously did pretty well money wise."
- Michael Scott - The Office

So when I read articles like this one, it's nice, since leaving $work$ behind is not so widely understood. The real curiosity is that if most people really think about it, They'd give almost anything for more time away from work. People want a better life, people at the top as well as people at the bottom. So where did we go wrong? When did we settle for less time to eat, less time for a healthy lifestyle, less time for our children, and less time to ask questions... aye there it is... less time to ask questions.

Less time to create our reality.

We're all so busy trying to pay bills, trying to get the kids off to school, trying to make everything work, that we've lost touch with ourselves and with taking our time. If that's the case, you life is probably no longer yours...

Haste makes waste.

So true.

Thanks to The Nation for THIS ARTICLE.
