Work like you don't need the money

"Happiness is a process, not a destination. So work like you don't need the money. Love like you've never been hurt. And dance as though no one is watching." - anonymous

My first job was for a ranch that ran snowmobile tours in the winter and horseback rides in the summer. I could only work on weekends and holidays but this was the best first job one could have. When the weather was bad I would stay in the main lobby and bake coffee cake and serve it with cider or cocoa. Some days I would be backup guide on a tour, which was delightful!

I learned early on that I do my best work when I have varied tasks to perform (i.e. bathing horses, fueling up snowmobiles, sending direct mail campaigns, answering the phone, baking cakes). And over the years I have discovered that there is no reason for work to feel like work. Perhaps I have the seven dwarfs complex but I truly love what I do, and do what I love. Somewhere along the lines I get paid for it.

Don't worry! Be happy!
