I recently came across 2 blog posts which I found extremely refreshing.\u00a0They have to do with people working their lives away so they can retire as soon as possible. Here are a few quotes from them\u2026<\/p>\n
Most people are still buying into the same old industrial age myth of \u201cwork sucks, so do as little of it as you can so you can live your life when you aren\u2019t working.\u201d<\/p>\n
For years, we have been taught that work is something you have to do \u2026 so that you can do what you really want while you are not working.<\/p>\n
I think a quote from Earl Nightingale is appropriate here.
\n\u201cIn an age where we\u2019ve come to nearly deify leisure time, we\u2019ve almost lost sight of the fact that virtually all of our satisfactions, rewards will come not from our leisure, but from our work.\u201d<\/p>\nLife shouldn\u2019t be wasted working towards for your retirement, it should be spent doing things you love.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
There have been lots of positive comments, including this one:<\/p>\n
Excellent! I am in the process of starting my own business, a bakery, because it is my passion and I love doing it. Living life day to day and being unhappy doing so isn\u2019t what life is about. Have fun everyday, every hour, every minute. Thats what it is about.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I hope to be there one day\u2026<\/p>\n
