If Work Sucks, You Have To Stop Working.

I don’t mean “drop out of life, and stop earning money”. I mean “stop selling your life short”.

You can still be productive (earning money is a necessary part of life) but if the only thing that keeps you working is the money, then you need to stop selling your life away.

Every moment you’re “working”, you are literally dying. A piece of your life is being taken away. You’ll never get that time back - it’s gone forever.

That’s why it’s so important that you do something with your life that you enjoy doing.

Days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months, months turn into years, and years turn into your life…

Life isn’t about how you spend your years - it’s about how you spend your days.

I’m in internet marketing consulting today because I started off doing something I enjoyed and was passionate about. And because of this passion and enjoyment, I consistently applied myself to my work - worked harder than I would if I did something I hated - and talent naturally followed.

But even today, I have to be careful to guard my passion…

I readily “fire” clients who take away my passion, or rob me of my ability to enjoy my life.

These are people I don’t want to deal with - because they are murderers.

I don’t use this language lightly.

Sure, they’re not like traditional murderers - they don’t take away the “end” of my life - instead, they take away the “middle” of my life.

If you’re serious about living too, you need to avoid these people in the same way that you would avoid murderers.

Don’t find yourself wishing for more life at the end of your lifetime - when you gave away so much of it in the middle.

And be careful about how you spend your days - because days quickly turn into weeks, weeks into months, months into years, and years into a lifetime.
