A workaholic lives on fear. It's fear that drives him to show up all the time. The best defense, apparently, is a good attendance record.A new class of jobs (and workers) is creating a different sort of worker, though. This is the person who works out of passion and curiosity, not fear.
But I don't think he takes it far enough to what is beyond curiosity; to what incredible value rests within the next generation of workers. I think its a worker or partner that can separate themselves from work and the thoughts of work. A person who can listen to the true self and not go into automatic autopilotness (my new word - like it?) of the things or tasks that are largely comprising modern life. Much of that automatic response is also fear; fear of having to make a decision, to think and therefore be held accountable; fear that is really controlled by past or future and not about being present in the current moment.

Interesting. I think that fear actually does rule and it rules from the past - as all of our fears have been dictated by our experiences in the past. And then we continue to accept them as truth, thereby letting the past rule our present - and our future.
And in doing so we are never fully present.
