Working so that I can Stop Working - Is a bit contradictory when you think about it. This mentality is popular throughout much of the developed world. Taking jobs for the security of "retirement"...believing in a pension plan and old age benefits.

Is this the best way to go about sculpting our lives?

Trading many of our years now for hopefully some free time later to maybe be able to have "retirement status".

It's kind of a weird concept. Even working a job for years and years and years...is a seemingly weird and bizarre concept. We are creator's first and foremost. So to do a job for a good majority of our lives seems kind of peculiar. We are resourceful creatures and have a tremendous ability to adapt and expand. With this in mind it doesn't make a lot of sense that increasingly so, people will work in one job for the rest of their days.

Think of all the people who have plugged away at the same gig...just to get the hours banked for "retirement".

Perhaps the "banking of hours for retirement" was a decision based in fear of making a mistake. Or perhaps it's a point of "settling"...or perhaps it's the preference/choice.

Initially I thought the goal in creating a life was to see how quickly one can get to "retired" status. Once hear - then can focus on building a life for real and doing all the stuff that one wants to do. I challenged this point. I asked myself: wouldn't it make a lot more sense to work on doing the things I want - now...stop postponing and actually utilize any work I am engaged within to be a point of a support and stepping stone for creating what I want that is a bigger working project that will take time.

Everyone is a builder. In a way, we are always building. We are either building for ourselves or we aren't.

I've realized that retirement is an illusion and mirage. I mean sure it can be a real thing for many...But for me - it doesn't make much sense - because: Life is a harmony of work and play here together.

My Life is My Work.
