All Play & No Work…

“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Consequently, ‘all play and no work makes Jack an “idiot!” What can I say — playing and having fun all the time can be a chore. No “pun intended!” But it can start to seem like work itself. How many times have you heard people coming back from vacations saying, “how tired” they were and they can’t wait to get back to “work.”

So, yes! Work is a “Gift!” It gives us purpose and meaning in this crazy world we live in. However, minor the job is — there can be fulfillment. I have personally experienced this while doing a menial task. I was in the “flow”, and it felt like I was doing something “purposeful.”

Sometimes we can’t see what the point is — going through the “day-to-day grind.” But if that work was taken away (like it has happened to me on several occasions) then it would be sorely missed.

Without question, whether paid or unpaid — it’s important. Plus without it, we wouldn’t have this great country that we live in, built on the sweat and toil of laborers. Many who were slaves.

Work — A “Gift” — Really!
