Do What You Love

By on Jan 21, 2010 in motivation

I love to work hard.  In my opinion, there’s nothing more demanding or thrilling than getting out every day and taking on the enormous challenges of running a business.  Some days I slay the dragons; some days I come home smoked and char-broiled.  That’s half the fun. 
 
But I also love to get away from work.  I can devote myself completely to business for 50 or 60 hours a week … provided I also know when to quit, when to call it a day, and when to do something else I love. 
 
For me, that means finding time for my children and grandchildren; finding time to take my dogs for walks on the trail; finding time to cook, do a crossword puzzle and just spend hand-holding time with that one special lady in my life; finding time to get together with good and playful friends (with special thanks to what we’ve come to call “The Gang of Eight); finding time each morning for prayer and some evenings and Sundays with my church family; and finding time to say thanks to my community (from tutoring with our county’s literacy partnership to serving with the Algoma Lions).  
 
It’s that balance that creates a life … a good life.  It’s that balance that sustains me when business goes bad, and it’s that balance that reminds me that (gasp!), yes, there’s more to life than my business.
 
So, work hard, make money, have fun … and enjoy your life.– JRI
