So which one do you focus on more, making a living or making a life!? Of course, the obvious or best answer would be BOTH equally! But unfortunately for many of us, we end up focusing, spending and consumed by working for money to make a living that our Life seems very insignificant in comparison.
There's really no judgment here, since both are important, both are essential, but personally I rather have a Life than simply make a living, so that's what I do. I give to my children, my family, friends, businesses, and communities constantly. I give them my love, support, care, and respect, I give them what they would call work but not just for the money that would be making a living ; ) but for the Life it creates for myself and all those around me. I do make a good living and do live off my making a living, but I choose to focus primarily on creating my Life, a life worth living, and from there I get all I need to make my living.
Most people, however, do the opposite, whether they are aware of it or not. They constantly work, work, work to make a living, to pay their bills, to keep food on the table, but at the end of the day, find themselves too tired or worn out to have a Life, not a work life, a Life beyond work, beyond making money, beyond making a living. No they work so hard for money they forget about making a Life for themselves, a life full of love, joy, happiness, freedom, security, abundance and fulfillment, a Life far worth living by giving than by simply getting and making a living.
