The Work Habit

The Work Habit

 

 

Work First

Get It Done

Feel the Sense of Accomplishment

 

The Work Habit

Is Ingrained in My Soul

And has Served Me Well

 

But Now in the Present

It Remains So Strong

That it Inhibits My Play and Leisure

 

It is Time

To Open that Soul

To New Ways of Living

 

When I was a boy I remember watching television and my father saying to me "Can't you do something constructive?" My father was a hard worker and especially in his later years, when he was not able to be as productive, he often languished over what he could no longer accomplish through his work. I have incorporated part of my father's work habit.It has helped me accomplish many things. Now approaching 70 years old, I look at modifying it and finding ways to bring more leisure and play in my life.



I'm making progress. It is a matter of consciously reminding myself that the work I have done is good enough for now. When I can feel that sense of satisfaction, I can enjoy my play and leisure.
