would you agree that most of us spend most of our adult years working? and would you also concur that together, as a human collective, we shape the world we live in?? and aren't we all, in some way or other in the pursuit of happiness???
well then i propose a radical change - instead of career choices based on the accumulation of wealth of never ending economical and political power, try 'The Art of Creative Living' - take responsibility for our world and share your unique gifts so that you grow rich in accomplishment and heart. create a gorgeous new world.
shift a pre-existing mindset and consider a new paradigm "work as art" or "man as artist".
"Today we stand at a crossroads in history. We have the opportunity to create a new image of ourselves at work, one which will trigger a revolution as profound, as shocking, as transforming as the Industrial Revolution. Even as the Industrial Revolution could not occur until there was a massive shift in society's view of work and wealth, so must an equally profound change in thinking regarding work and wealth occur, before the next quantum leap in man's social evolution can flourish".
Zen and the Art of Making a Living - Laurence G. Boldt
The Fourteenth Dalia Lama says
"We begin from the recognition that all beings cherish happiness and do not want suffering. It then becomes both morally wrong and pragmatically unwise to pursue only ones own happiness oblivious to the feelings and aspirations of all others who surround us as members of the same human family. The wiser course is to think of others when pursuing our own happiness"
