You sir could not be more wrong...at least concerning myself!!! People who enjoy work are usually those who are watching others doing it. Work is and always will be a four letter word!!
It might be that your idea of work is somehow defined as doing what you hate.
That is miserable.
But doing what you love...whether that is cooking, carpentry, mechanics, writing, computers or whatever...that is heaven.
You can join the Salvation Army, coach little league, tend to gardens...you may not get rich at it, but what you love is valued by someone.
Do what you love and you will be filled with energy.
"For where your heart is...there is your treasure also."
The difficult part is thinking this thing through. The hard part is asking yourself what you would do if you had to...and what you would love to do...and how to reconcile the two.
Survival is, in and of itself, a very rewarding thing. Doing what you love and surviving in the process is sublime!
