Long Recess, Short School

Remember recess? When my daughter started kindergarten 5 years ago, she said it was long school and short recess. She wished it was short school and long recess! My husband considers long bike rides recess. I consider anything beyond 10-15 miles work, while he's just getting warmed up! We all have our personal idea of recess or playtime. Different strokes for different folks.

What if you found work that felt like long recess and short school? Wouldn't that be fabulous? Think how focused you are when you're doing something you love. You want to do well, you want to learn more, you want to improve and work harder. It might be writing, gardening, exercising, coaching, organizing, leading an organization or any number of things, We each have our own version of recess.

What do you do that you get lost in? What activity causes you to lose track of time? Whatever it is, those are the things that you need to have in your life....ideally it'd be great to have that as part of your work.

What if everyone found that ideal job? Think about the creativity and energy that would be tapped into! Think about what could be accomplished! Think of the change that could come into your life and into the world!

Here's my challenge for you.....find the things in your life that brings forth your best self, your strengths, your energy, and your sense of play. Whether it's something in your work or your private life, use that "gift" to make a difference in your life, your community and the lives of those around you.

Short school, long recess.....Playtime! It's a win-win!

This Is Your Life.....Make It What You Want!
