Let’s work it out.

Work was always supposed to be only a part of life. Let’s reassess the space it is occupying in our heads.    

……….

My point isn’t about the ‘time’ that work is occupying, it is about the ‘space in the head’. Yup, that’s where the pain-point for us – the modern humans – is. When it comes to life, work should be EQUALLY important, not the MOST. It is not what life should revolve around – mentally or emotionally.

Sample this, now we call our holidays ‘getaways’. Why a ‘get-away’ from work, why can’t we call it a ‘get-towards’ something. Whatever it is – art, nature, family, or life in general – that is what is supposed to be in focus, not what we are getting away from. Well, such rephrasing needs ‘reassessing’.

……….

Yes, there is so much more to life. If only… we can ‘work it out’ 🙂
