A Quote by Johnny Carson
"Never continue in a job you don't enjoy.
If you're happy in what you're doing, you'll like yourself,
you'll have inner peace. And if you have that,
along with physical health, you will have had more success
than you could possibly have imagined."
Johnny

Talk Show Host and Entertainer
Note from Pamy: We recently said good-bye to a great
entertainer. There is a lot to be said for Johnny's quote
because it is a wonderful thing to have a job that you enjoy.
However, many people go through life working at things that
feed the family but not necessarily what they love to do.
Johnny happened to be one of the fortunate people who seemed to
love his work and he was very good at it too.
Yet, inner peace is never found in a job.
It is good to have a job that you love but I have never heard of anyone on
their deathbed saying, "I wish I'd spent more time at the office"
I always find myself wondering about people like Johnny and
if they knew the Lord. If, perhaps, they found true inner peace
before they died. I hope so because I'd like to think that
perhaps the gates of heaven would open
and St. Peter would say,
"Heeeeeeeeeere's Johnny!"
