I regularly enjoy my horoscope in the Independent.  I find them so wacky and humorous.  Every once in a while a gem will go though.  This was in last week’s:

“Play is what I
do for a living; the work comes in organizing the results of the play.”

I love this quote.  This is my goal in my life and career.  I don’t want to work, I want to play.  Alot of this I think is mental in that, you have to look at your work as not just work, but something you’re doing because you want to. I you’re doing something you absolutely cannot look at as something you want to do, time to switch gears.  Get a new job.  Of course you should always try to find joy and happiness in whatever you are doing, but career choice is something I think you can’t do that with for long.  Unless you’re a glutten for discipline and know you’ll not have a problem being happy with a job you don’t like for the rest of your life then hey, more power to you.  I know I’ll have “jobs” for the rest of my life, but I don’t plan on working a single day. 

The quote comes from a book called A Whack on the Side of the Head: How You Can Be More Creative by Roger von Oech
