Most of us do not work because we want
to; we work because we think we have to
work for money. The problem is
that is all we do. We forget that
life more than work. Life is also
about balance. In order to have
balance, we must do more than work.
What about fun? We need fun to
keep our minds off work. How about
rest? Not just sleeping to get
ready for the next day's work, but
resting the mind and body from all
activity. What about solitude?
Take an hour or perhaps a day away from
the hustle and bustle of life and
people. It's called a
mental-health break. Let us not
forget the mind. Education.
It helps to keep the gray matter
upstairs from getting dusty. Work
is necessary but is not the only thing
required to get ahead. All work
and no play may give us a balanced
checkbook, but it can also give us an
unbalanced mind.
