No More "Work"

I think I'm going to try and remove the word "work" from my vocabulary. "Work" just has a certain connotation to it these days that I don't agree with. Like its a chore or something to be dreaded. I understand that for most people this is the case. But I am not most people.

Work for me is pure privilege. A luxury. I wake up every morning and live the dream. I don't go to work, I go live life. I make a difference. That's the perspective and attitude I'm choosing. Similar to how my friend Pope encourages us to love Mondays.

Some people really do understand "work" and that's the kind I'm ok with. The kind that is usually preceded by the word "hard." But I still want to find a better way to communicate this. Cause I think eliminating "hard work" from your vocabulary forces you to be more intentional and detailed in describing effort. Focus, discipline, dedication, determination, resiliency, consistency, etc.

"Hey man, what do you got going on this week?"

The answer to this question is all about attitude and perspective. Do you have chores to handle or do you have privileges to take advantage of?
