Face it: not all of your life is work, and that’s a good
thing. We’ve spent much of this book exploring the concept
that work is more important than many have made it. Your
job is not mere drudgery; it is a calling, a noble vocation if
you choose to see it that way. But at the same time, work is
not all there is to the story of our lives. We are complex
creatures, social animals, and how we invest our lives goes
beyond where we punch a time clock. My own experience
has taught me this many times over.
When I married Ashley, she vowed to be my biggest fan.
I don’t think either of us knew exactly what that meant at
the time, but years later, after having published books and
gone into business for myself, I can look back and see how
she was a part of encouraging me through the process every
step of the way. I couldn’t have asked for a greater fan.
Having my wife by my side taught me that as important
as dreaming is, an unshared dream is only a fantasy, an
illusion. What makes the journey of vocation worthwhile is
having someone to share your passion with. In my case, as a
writer, without someone to support my work, the words I
