Thinking About The Blessing’s of Work Before Labor Day
by I think the title says it all. I do write about a positive attitude and how it relates to work.
A home is supposed to be a place of refuge. Once you close that door behind you, you should be able to breath a sigh of relief that you made it home alive. However, now the savages have stated that if the Mexican military does not leave the city of Juarez Chihuahua, Mexico they are going to start executing regular people, instead of just each other.
I can understand the anxiety Mexican people feel about their lives being in danger. If America stops being the land of non-governmental interference in business and becomes the land were government sets prices and salaries my life will be in danger. I could not survive in a communist country.
This is why there is a need to shine the light on the blessings America offers. Freedom is one of these blessings. The privilege of work is also one of these blessings. I know many see work as tiresome and boring.
Monday September 7th will be Labor Day in America. If I am correct this holiday is to celebrate work. Strange how sometimes we do not appreciate what we have until we loose it.
I heard today that the unemployment rate has now reached 9.7%. It may not be the time to sermonize about bad attitude as it relates to work. However, I do consider my writing efforts as teaching efforts.
A long time ago I learned to accept that my great life goal was not going to happen. In addition, I learned that I could be just fine with the income I earn as a taxi driver. This is when I came to appreciate the ideas of minimalism, which only have what you need.
Lately, I have been obsessed with idea about if I could grow my own vegetables and live of the land, instead of needing to buy groceries at Wal-Mart. I could very easily buy a small plot of land. I could even get a small motor home.
I would save all that money from not paying apartment rent. Moreover, I could build my own simple home. See, this are all positive ideas based on the resources I have at my disposal.
You have to have a lot of resources at your disposal. The job you had to of required knowledge. You could write or consult. You could fix cars, computers, or buy and sell on Amazon.
This is not the world of yesterday were there is only way to personal success. My definition of personal success is meeting the demands of life while enjoying life.
High-end cities may not allow such leeway. Who needs to live in NY any way, especially now with all those new taxes?
Yes, our modern world does teach us some bad attitudes. I have said this many times. However, we have at our disposal our smart brain.
Moreover, there is no reason why this labor day we should not celebrate. I plan to eat a lot of hot dogs. In addition, I also plan to celebrate the day by doing what makes the day special, work.
Work for me is how I get the money to live the life I want. I work to meet a financial goal. I reward myself with food for meeting my goals.
