Most everyone spends a good portion of their days putting their
hand to something that will generate the resources they have
decided they need, to live the life they have decided they want.
What puzzles me though, is why so many people pick something to put their hand to that leaves them feeling empty inside.
It is really the state of things that we all must grit our teeth
and go to work? It is really the state of things that we die a
little each morning only to be jolted back alive when we leave the office?
I know a man who is a very senior investment advisor.
-He hates it.
-He makes an above average amount of money.
-He keeps doing it.
-He calls it a `grind`.
I`ve asked hhim why he doesn`t just stop and do something else that will bring some satisfaction, maybe even do something he loves.
He told me `satisfaction in what you put your hand to` is not
reality and to stop dreaming.
Stop dreaming? Isn`t dreaming what got us the airplane? Isn`t
dreaming what got us electricity and modern communications? Isn`t dreaming what is needed to cure cancer?
I wonder if Albert Einstein ever thought going to work was `a
grind`.
I wonder if Sir Isaac Newton would roll out of bed with a groan and a big rock in his stomach.
Maybe the reason why so few of us do what we love is because we
have all been programmed to think `work and love` don`t go
together. I think most of us don`t evven think about the two
concepts in the same thought wave. The reality of `loving what you do` doesn`t exist in most people`s internal scripting.

Bean Bag ChairThe
Bean Bag Chair was first popular in the late 1960`s and early 1970`s and is currently enjoying a big renaissance. Bean bags are basically a material outer shell stuffed with pellets manufactured from a material such as pvc, polystyrene or styrofoam. The outer shell is sealed to prevent the pellets from escaping. When a person sits on a
Bean Bag Chair the pellets have enough room to move within the material which allows the bean bag to mould to the person`s body contours. This makes sitting on a
Bean Bag Chair a fun and extremely comfortable experience. People find that they are not restricted to sitting in conventional positions when using a bean bag and lying on a bean bag can be extremely comfortable. Bean bags make ideal chairs for relaxing on whilst watching a film or playing video games. The outer shell of a bean bag can be manufactured out of practically any material and to any dimensions. It is not uncommon to see a bean bag that is as big as a large couch. Common materials are leatherette, suede or even leather itself.
