I have worked for so many companies where the morale is "work until you drop, and when you do, someone else will pick up where you left off." Often, in these situations, I felt guilty for taking random time off, often when I (and my poor body especially) really needed it. In other instances that are non work related, I have came in contact with people that have been so brazen to say...what makes you think you deserve time off? I also know people that believe that you have to work yourself to the bone and if you don't then you must have a problem, but I learned that there is a better way. So, thank you so much for this wonderful and insightful article!!! This is such a great article, Mr. Assaraf because there are so many people that don’t believe in time off.

I appreciate your feedback. The mini-meditations during the day, really help when I have perceived disappointments, and my ego is beating me up. When my mind is "clear"... Serendipitious events happen more frequently! I was astonished at the end of one of Robert Kiyosaki's Seminars on business...HE said "Success" is 99% SPIRITUAL. He said the deal of the century passes us by everyday, but we need to be in a "place" to see it.... Yvonne Dean, Thank you (!) for thanking me. I appreciate your feedback.

You will be glad you did rather than following a time table and schedule that others made for you that does not allow 'fun', 'love' and 'peace'.

I would like to reiterate Chris Shouse's ? : John, when you take time off what allows you to stop thinking about what you need to do and totally relax? I guess emptying your mind or meditation helps - I have been using Holosync(sp?) for the last month and it has helped immensely! Thank you for the reminder to value our spirit and our bodies! I look forward to talking and reading more! What a great reminder and great advice for those of us who have our own business!! I would like to reiterate Chris Shouse’s ? :
