The Difference between Work and Play

When I was young I always hated working and looked forward to "playing", or doing what I wanted to. Then one day I started thinking about it...

I realized the only difference between "work" and "playing" was my attitude, and I can choose what attitude I have toward any activity...

I've never worked a day since! I choose to play at what ever I'm doing. In other words, I choose to enjoy my life and do whatever I need to do, have to do, or get to do, with my whole heart, and as much energy as I can....

At least that is my goal, I must admit occasionally I forget and find myself "working" at something again. In my mind that means I'm doing it as though I were forced and didn't really want to do it.
