An old story about work

Share this:

An old story about work “Work is work and play is play and never shall the two meet.” This idea is very ingrained in our culture. And, it is time for a new story – and a new standard. The old standard is that work is something we don’t want to do, an unpleasant necessity. […]

Life is meant to be more than a list of chores

Share this:

Life is meant to be far more than a list of chores So many people accidentally turn their lives into a giant list of chores.
