Working

Accomplishing the impossible means only 
that the boss will add it to your regular duties.

Working
Most of us spend our days working so hard in order to build a life.  We push the limits of our endurance at times because we believe if we work a little harder and do just a little bit more, it will be pay off in the end.  We even find work to do on our days off.  Now we all need to make a living to survive but why can't we also make a life while we are working so hard?  Why can't we build our dreams starting today and not waiting until we feel like we finally have "enough" to do so?  Why can't we work just as hard on our personal lives as we do our careers?  The answer is we can and we should.  We can work ourselves so hard that we forget to live.  We forget to breathe.  We forget to truly love.  There must be a balance.  On this Labor Day, find a way to adjust your life so that you are enjoying all aspects of it.  Be just as passionate about your life as you are your career.
