Full time living

Full time living.
Living life is like a full time job, fuller than full. If we can see it as such, then any job we have in our life becomes a part of living instead of separate from it.
We often hear terms like "social life" "family life" and "work life" which creates segregation and makes it seem as if one person is living multiple lives.
The result of this makes people act differently depending on which life they are in, so then how can someone ever come to know themselves?
Some people might think they should not have to do anything resembling work if they are not at work, or they are not allowed to be playful with their coworkers as they are with their children. I have often heard, "i just don't have the time to...because I am at work all day and get home late and am very tired."
This kind of practice prohibits renewal of ones beliefs (asking "why do I live this way? who am I living for?") and leads to being stuck in certain ways. Life is everchanging and we would be best advised to flow with it, instead of becoming stuck.
I remember how my mother would get if she felt like she was doing all the housework, and would get emotional and say "I work really hard everyday and I deserve a little help around here/should not have to do so much housework after a long day at the office"
She has every right to ask her family for help, but as we know, getting emotional effects others just as much as it effects us.
Emotional blinding keeps people from the realization that they chose everything they burden themselves with and the power of acceptance to help them deal with everything as it comes, thus lessening this treacherous feeling of burden.
With my new understanding of karma, I realize that hard work really does pay off, like a sales job where the harder you work the more you gain. This payoff is then sure to motivate continued hard work. The same hindrances will appear no matter what form of life we are in so just because there is no boss looking over our shoulder at home does not mean the karmic impact of our actions is any different. I think most people are living life at minimum wage standards, simply maintaining existence without a clear idea of what they are living for, And this creates more work for others who live with an awareness of the responsibility of being human. Luckily, the ones with a blessed awareness of their Divine Nature are accepting of this extra load and happy to help others to awaken.
We are very much a monkey see monkey do species, learning from our parents and surrounding environments, so when selfishness, both subtle and extreme, is prevalent, we accept it as the norm, thinking, "life must be about living for me, increasing my comfort zone, learning for the sole purpose of progressing my self".. And progression in today's modern system is mostly measured by your individiual material gain. This creates competition and a survival-of-the-fittest attitude. I believe one of the factors contributing to global warming is a rise in peoples body temperatures as a result of increased stress and overthinking...there was alot less taking place in the human mind just centuries ago.. .it is a pattern that has taken hold of greater humanity, and oftentimes, deviations from this pattern: selflessness, deep spiritual beliefs, a disinterest in the "norm"* raises eyebrows and seems strange.
I strongly believe that not everything is as it seems, and my path in this lifetime has shown me that there is something more powerful than the material world, that there MUST be a reason why us humans were put here, and why precious Life was created in the firstplace, WHAT is the other 92% of our brain doing? A human's mental capAcity is as limitless as the sky above our heads, and I think it is no coincidence that both inner and outer worlds (All) stretch infinitely in all directions.
Talk about intelligent design!
If we can imagine heaven we can surely create it, just like when we were children, and our imaginations swore to us that what we were thinking WAS real. We are all connected, so when one person breaks out of old selfish patterned living and creates a strong link in the Divine web, Light can only flourish from then on. We were given thought and we were given choice, and I think it is safe to say our Designer wanted to paint a beautiful picture.
