"We must resolve to work with greatness and never
forget to do so again. Every workday is a concert, a
Nobel-prize ceremony, or an Olympic victory."

Peter Koestenbaum, philosopher and business
consultant...

I wonder why so often we get in the way of doing this, every day?

I enjoy my work, but it is only a wee part of my symphony.

I guess I'm an idealist, ML....I'd love to work at something I DO enjoy!

You're correct as well, Cat...

If I could work at a job doing something I really love and make enough money to survive on it, then perhaps I would be able to live up to that quote.  Maybe! 

I love the comment about "waxing gold titties", that had me ROFLMAO

I agree with Ral.. because we very often do stuff that we don't like doing.. Our lives are cluttered with stuff we don't love, including people, objects and emotions.  It's a noble goal though, isn't it?

I only work to my full potential when there is an end product that is readily tangible and is something I enjoy.

Well, I used to really enjoy my work and tried to make each day into its own little masterpiece but now that I have to stay at home, it's kind of hard to do that with housework. lol!
