My Favorite Place

Many people have their favorite place where they love to be. It is important to love places but I think sometimes these places become peoples main focus. People become so focused on the place that they start to be living for vacation and time off from work or school because they do not love what they do.

Many people get stuck in a rut and start to live for work instead of living to work. Most people do not understand the difference but that one word makes a world of difference. The majority of people live FOR work. These people wake up in the morning, go to work, come home, do some things and then do it all over again the next day. These people live for the weekend and dread going back to work on Monday. These people live for vacation and time off that only lasts days. A person who is living TO work is someone who wakes up in the morning and cannot wait to get to work. These people are the ones who love what they do so much that they do not care if they need to work seven days a week. These are the people who enjoy being in the office all the time and when they travel they are always available no matter where they are.

For me the beach is one of my favorite places to be in the entire world. I love the warm sand between my toes and the water on my skin. Every chance I get you better believe I would love to go to the beach. Even when I am on "vacation" I am working. I am always available when I am needed. If someone has a question about a project I am working on at work you better believe I will take that call and help them in every way I possibly can. I read a lot while I am on vacation too because I always want to be ahead of the curve. Reading gives you a competitive edge over everyone else. I also work on my personal projects as well. Just because I am on vacation does not mean I get to put my feet up. I love what I do. I love working hard so much that I loose track of time. I love it and I do the same thing while I am on vacation.

I use to be extremely unhappy with how I lived my life. I really evaluated my life and got my priorities straight and now I could not be happier. I love the work I do and it does not feel like work at all because I love it. I challenge you to really look at your life and see if you are really happy. Be honest with yourself because otherwise it is not helpful to you.
