W.O.R.K.

I wake up every morning to a job I that I don't like(hate is too strong). I wake up every morning to a job I don't have a passion for. I wake up every morning to a job I don't look forward to go to. I wake up every morning knowing by the end of the day, I will not be satisfied with what I have done for the day. I wake up every morning knowing that when I sleep tonite, with a thought in my head still wishing to find that self satisfaction and passion in my career.

I envy those people who had found that satisfaction and that passion. Filling their days doing what they love. Waking up and looking forward to a day of fulfillments and satisfaction rather than wishing they are in bed still. Knowing in the end, they can look back at their life and say ..."I live my life"....I don't think a lot of us can say that. I surely can't....for now though.

I know for sure that I don't want to go on with the rest of my life doing what I am doing now. I know for sure that this is not the path that I want to lead and end with. I know for sure I want something else...something more. But to change and have that, I need to actually start from scratch. Am I brave enough, at this stage of my life, to do that? To start all over again?

I am just assuming but I bet a lot of u out there feel the same way. Wanting something more in life than what we do every day. We work for the sake of the salary that we get at the end of the month, which, within a day most probably 3/4 of it would be out of the window...paying bills, loans (car, personal, parents,friends) and that one really expensive dinner. And we do it all over again......a never ending story.

But would we say goodbye to that? We are stuck in a job we might not like because we can't afford to do anything else and risk it all. We need the money to live our life. We can't just simply take the risk to pursue something else. To look back inside yourself and finding what you truly want to do with your life? Would sitting inside your cubicle and balancing the account every month is your true calling? Closing a big account with one the biggest and important client ever for your company? It's one to decide one passion in life....

I want to be those people...those who can say that they life their live. Looking back to their life and not regretting the things that they have done in their life. But again, am I brave enough? At a stage where most people are stabilizing and strengthening their grips on life while I am still wishing I am doing something else? Should I just stop thinking about it and just do the best that I can with I have in life and hope that it will turn out better for me?

I am thankful that I do have a job to wake up to. Don't take me wrong. I am thankful but I don't think it is any harm in wanting something more for yourself? Striving for something better? And what is better? To be thankful and accepting what is infront of you or squeezing that orange for that extra juice? Hmmm....another orange juice posting eh...

I read an article a few months back about people and their careers..odd careers I must add. But all of them have one thing in common...waking up with a smile on their faces with their heart filled with joy and satisfaction in doing what they are doing. A banker who turn into a naturalist. A doctor who now teach people kayaking. Knowing they took a chance in their life and glad that they did because they are happier than before. No more miserable 9-6 job that pay them ciput kind of salaries...but a whatever time job with still maybe ciput kind of earnings but they are happier. No more looking at the watch wishing it is 6pm. It doesn't even matter if it is a Monday or a Friday.

Well, I have taken a chance in my life recently...and it turn out to be the best one I have even taken. Sherie is the proof...maybe I should take another one. Yeah... maybe I should.

Just to make things clear.... I want to be happy with my job...and at the same time earn big money....huge sum of money.. capish? That would make me even happier....well, just about anyone would kan?
