Don’t Be A Slave..
Working less and playing more, I don’t think there is a person on this planet who doesn’t dream about it. The million dollar question of course, is how we go about to achieve that goal.
As I see it, this conundrum can be approached from many different angles. We can start practicing better time management skills, use the golden 80/20 rule, and use new technology to make our lives easier, more efficient. But all of these techniques and gadgets mean nothing if you don’t have specific goals you are working towards, or the needed passion for what you do.
When you for example, believe that working less and playing more is just an unrealistic dream, which will never come true, then it will never realize in your life, as you won’t work towards achieving that for yourself, you will never have focused your energy in attaining it, making it a reality. If we don’t set goals for ourselves, we will hardly ever achieve anything as we have nothing we are working towards; we are then like lose flying balloons, with no direction or anchor, just going wherever the wind blows us.
Passion is the other major ingredient in the recipe for achieving any goal. It will help absolutely nothing if we set these grand goals for ourselves, but we don’t have the needed passion to drive ourselves forward to turn them into reality. Without passion, turning your goals into reality will feel something like running a marathon, instead of just a simple stroll in the park.
The moral of the story? Don’t ever stop dreaming, and continuously set goals for yourself. Don’t be shy about those dreams either, dream BIG, and put everything into achieving that dream. One of my goals, which I set for myself many moons ago, was to work less and play more, I’ve long since achieved it, and so can you!

I like it. If one doesn’t get started, one never gets started. A common mistake that people make is trying to pursue something that they are not passionate about. Passion and intent will open doors like nothing else.

A home is just a place to keep your stuff while you go out and get more stuff.
