where does one draw the line?

The line between taking a well-deserved break, and getting the job done?

In the Bhagavad Gita, Krishna tells Arjuna simply, "Do your duty." Basically, stop making excuses, suck it up, and do the job you were put here to do. Sometimes it's not up to us to question, but instead to fulfill. Fulfill, I believe as long as the behavior is resulting in more overall good than harm. More helpful than not... Who cares if I COULD be taking a nap instead? I could be doing a lot of other, less productive things, too!

I could just start making better use of my free time, maybe toward the creative endeavors I so long for...


Well, there you have it. Let's get the job done, and start living.
