I love it. The title is what first came to mind when thinking about what Team National has opened my eyes, or should I say oyster shell too. See, the reality is we can work endless hours in the corporate world striving to reach the top, only to realize the top is really not the top. Hours upon hours and you rely on others to determine your value and it seems like the more of your own life you are willing to give up the more valuable you become. I don't mind working long hours and putting in a hard days work. However a hard days work never seems to be enough. Its a hard day, then, night, then weekend, then early morning, when does it stop? Hours does not equal success. We are conditioned to believe this is the norm, 80% work, 20 % life. Well enough is enough. I want my freedom. I want my life back and I will settle for nothing less. How about 20% work, 80 % life. We work to pry the oyster of life open for retirement some day and all there to behold is sand and wasted time. Well I am working hard, but I am now prying the oyster to behold the pink pearl of life. The good Lord wants us to be successful in this world, but not of this world. He wishes us to have time with our family, with Him and enjoy our work to the fullest. So lets get to it, lets get to opening the oyster. By the way What is success? Success is truly living. Struggling to survive is not living.
“Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising which tempt you to believe that your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires courage.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
