Each month, we’ll partner with a favorite artist or photographer to bring to life a simple, beautiful moment that pairs perfectly with an Aplós cocktail. So grab a glass and savor the moment.
A career is a great distraction, but from what?
There’s nothing to gain from doing nothing. Besides, carpe diem! Which in capitalism translates to: monetize every moment!
Professionally fulfilled or not, though, once in a while you will look up from your desk and feel suddenly struck by the utter absurdity of work.
It is absurd, is it not, to attempt to make your time useful nonstop? There may be nothing to gain from doing nothing, but must we always gain?
Before this line of thinking unravels into one of those dreaded career changes, walk away from your desk. Engage, instead, in being. Being rather than producing. Being rather than having. Being rather than performing.
We all deserve a brief affair with insubordination; before, inevitably, reporting back to our desks in the morning.
