    Let us define timelines for work and take time out for our hobbies, sports, family and most importantly health. We often deprive ourselves of sleep because of work to make money and then we spend money to seek health.

    In India, we are asked to “Don’t stare at your wife, work 100 hours and on Sundays too!”

    If you don’t consider work as everything but just a part of life, then it is important to have a balanced life!

    for the longest time, i felt like i was just in the background while others stood out. nothing i did seemed to make a difference. then i found Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, and it showed me how to harness my own energy. chapter 3 was the turning point—it made everything make sense.

    i always thought people who were magnetic just had a natural gift. but after reading Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, i realized it’s all about the energy you project. chapter 3 was a game-changer—it taught me how to shift my vibe, and since then, i’ve noticed people reacting to me differently.

    there was a time when i felt like no matter what i did, people just didn’t notice me. tried all the confidence hacks, but it still didn’t work. then i found Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, and it flipped everything for me. chapter 3? That one really changed the way i saw myself and how i project energy. it was like unlocking a secret.

    i used to walk into a room, feeling invisible, no matter how much effort i put into being seen. then a friend recommended Magnetic Aura by Takeshi Mizuki, and everything clicked. there’s a part in chapter 3 where it talks about how your energy shows up before you do—it’s so powerful.

    What do I like to do? I like playing with my kids, watching cooking competitions, anything cake related, spending time outside hiking, fishing, etc, reading fantasy novels, learning new things with my kids, playing board games, watching funny or romantic movies. What do you like to do? 🙂

    It’s a good thing that the important species don’t consider such things. Ants,bees,earthworms on strike would kill us.
    Unlike us, those species actually offer the planet something of value.

    Work sucks. Can’t stand small talk because it always revolves around jobs. Tell me about your passions and hobbbies don’t talk about work.

    Omg!!! I LOVED every word of this Ted talk!! It really resonated with me, and opened up my perspective of being a worker.

    SHARE this idea at WORK, with everyone, and perhaps it might change attitudes.
    SHARE this idea with POLITICAL LEADERS, and maybe we can save the USA?

      So, in a way, you could say you failed at your own job. Because it’s your life’s WORK. Get it? 😂😂

      January 13, 2025 at 4:19 pm

      @ Haha! Nah, my work is to support others in this 🙂 While I also do lots of stuff I love that’s not practical or work related (working for a loving doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy what you do)

    It’s not universal in USA. I never even thought about work until I was in high school. I never even heard anyone ask anyone what they do more than a few times per year. The adults did too good of a job “protecting” me from adulthood. When I went to the high school class where you study jobs, I had no idea what any job title even meant. Luckily, I’m permanently disabled and won’t ever have to work. But I didn’t get sick until middle school, so that wasn’t the reason.

    It’s a very cultural thing, and it’s true that in America, what do you do in life aka work, is always the first question

    This is all good… How to work less when management is asking us to always do more and more each year? 😢

    If you are not in the financial market space right now, you are making a huge mistake. I understand that it could be due to ignorance, but if you want to make your money work for you…prevent inflation🇨🇦

      Thanks for continuing updates I’d rather trade the crypto market as it’s more profitable. I make a good amount of money per week even though I barely trade for myself.

      A lot of people still make massive profit from the crypto market, all you really need is a relevant information and some ‹professional advice. ‹it’s totally inappropriate for investors to hang on while suffering from dip during significant

      No I don’t trade on my own anymore, I always required help and assistance
