When you know the answer to something but you ask the question anyway so you can start something/trouble.


Working is a great thing. Yes, I know, many times we end up doing what we don’t want to do. That’s ok, because sometimes it takes doing what we don’t want to do in order to work in a field we love and enjoy.
What does work do? It gives us an intrinsic value. It allows us to feel worthwhile. Have you ever finished a days work and felt good that you did something or finished a goal as a result? Ok, may not always. Everyone’s situation is different. But work was created for us humans as a positive thing. It was never meant to be negative.
I used to work at a home improvement store. Most days I enjoyed my job and other days not so much. Normal, yes. I know. But it wasn’t what I wanted to do in life. My true love was to be a full-time writer/author. NOW…I’m doing that. It took time, but the wait was worth it.
