Do you live to work or work to live?

Which situation describes you: do you work to live, or do you live to work? Do you go to a job each day that doesn’t quite fulfill you but pays the bills, or is your true passion your work, occupying your every thought?
 
Many people, likely the majority, see their job as a mere tool to earn money, enabling the life they want outside of it. They dread Mondays and eagerly await Fridays to enjoy the weekend. They constantly check the clock, counting down the minutes until they can leave the office. They do their tasks as best they can, not out of passion, but to keep the job that provides the income they need for their personal life. And when the workday ends, they rush out, relieved and happy, to enjoy their free time, family, or hobbies.
 
On the other hand, some have the opposite outlook. For them, work is an obsession and their main goal in life: to climb the professional ladder. They aim to impress their bosses, stand out in their workplace, and gain recognition for their efforts. They never skimp on hours; while others head home, they stay late, tirelessly proving their worth. They even bring work home, as the line between office and personal life blurs—their entire existence revolves around work, with the sole aim of advancing their career.
 
Which of these two groups do you belong to? Or is there a third group? Yes, there is, and I hope you’re part of it.
 
This third group consists of those who work in what they truly love. They chose a career that ignited their passion and found a job that aligns with it. Day to day, they perform tasks they enjoy and excel at. They go to work with a smile, knowing they’ll enjoy what they do, which fulfills them both personally and professionally while also providing a salary for a rich personal life. They don’t obsess over the clock to leave early, nor do they stay late without reason; they simply finish their tasks and go home. On weekends, they happily enjoy their free time and family, and though they might occasionally bring work home, it’s not out of obligation or to impress anyone—it’s because they enjoy it. These people neither work to live nor live to work: they live and enjoy their personal and professional lives equally.
 
I’ll ask again: which group do you belong to? My sincerest wish is that you’re part of this third group.
