I was addicted to work. I could live and breathe my business, seven days a week and spend endless hours at my desk. My day started with work and I closed my eyes at night with work in and on my mind. The interesting thing is all those hours laboring away did not produce success.
Sad.
I knew deep down that the compulsion was an attempt at filling a void. All work, no life outside of work. Lack of fun.
And
I am sure I was not, I am not alone. If I was to guess, I suspect it is the single of us human beings that lead the way. No distractions. Just work. Sad again.
Even as I CHANGED my lifestyle I am still plagued by this addiction. I cannot say this“work ethic” was rewarding. Quite the opposite. As I go down my new road in life I am learning to take time off, incorporate breaks into my weeks and enjoy this life of mine.
I fight this addication each and every day. AND I will conquer this mindset. Are you addicted to work? What have you done to walk away from working on all the time? Your feedback is REALLY appreciated.
