My work is an expression of who I am.  I figure out who I am and what works means to me at the same time.  In other words, this is what I would be doing even if I didn’t “have to work.”  The very intentional goal has always been to make “work” not work but rather constructive play with friends and the world.

I have always assumed that this approach to work isn’t for everyone.  I’ve heard that some people just like to have a job that they can leave at the end of the day and not have to think about it.  I realized recently that I don’t really believe this.

If you enjoy the work you are doing then you are doing it for your pleasure and for the Business of You.  On the other hand, if you are miserable at work then you need to adjust something in the Business of You.

We all go home at the end of the day.  Not thinking about work has nothing to do with the work itself but rather your ability to be mindful and in the moment.

So… if you fit into this category, no more excuses.  Find the work that makes you come alive and make the work live.  We all benefit from this.
