An individual who has worked very hard all his life and feels an inner need to take some time off should do so. A rest of this sort lets the contemplative side of his nature come to the surface. He must keep worry and anxiety out of his thoughts during this time. Experience and observation have shown that nothing is lost in the end by such temporary retirement. Later on, if it becomes necessary to look for a new position, his own intuition and more philosophic outlook will be invaluable aids both in finding work and in carrying it out.
