Live it up :) :) :) :) :) :)

90% of the people I know don’t like their job. Most of the people whom I have met/discussed/spoken with are bonded by these 4 words. “ I HATE MY JOB” . So here comes the big question, why do we still go ahead with this when we so clearly hate it?

As far as my analysis and connecting the dots go I can attribute this to 2 reasons

OPTION A :

People do this for money.  To put it more nicely, financial independence and stability.

OPTION B:

Well, we simply dunno what else to do ( I believe most of us fall under this category)

Or

Maybe we are all under the opinion that “ the grass on the other side is greener”. The IT people think that the Non-IT people are living life to the fullest, while the Non-IT people think that the IT people are living it out like anything. Well, we both know the bottom line now,” there is no such thing like the other side (literally), coz we are all on the same side trying to compare  ourselves  with a make-believe nonexistent other side”

So what can we do to beat this rigmarole??

1.       Quit ?

Well ,we all know that this is not going to be easy, especially for people who come under OPTION A and plus today we live in such a consumerist society which has driven us to believe MONEY MEANS POWER.

2.       Complain ?

Technically this is the only option that is available to all of us. But this doesn’t really help us. By doing so we repel people and make our life harder.

So are we left with no option to deal with this ?

Instead of whining, complaining and sweating it out, we should probably change our perspective towards it . I believe that’s the best solution.

What does changed perspective mean ??

See, for starters we all need money to survive, But money should not come at the cost of one’s happiness or peace of mind. So this is where we need to hit the right balance. What we all need is a strong motivating factor in life. Money should not be the only motive, we need that nonetheless, but the path towards making big money should be enjoyable. Its not like I will be happy only if I have so much money in my bank balance and till then I will remain sad and unhappy and miserable. But the honest truth is we are all unhappy about one thing or the other. For some it is money, for some its about a broken relationship, waiting for someone to come along to give you happiness and for most of them its their job.

We are all waiting for that one fine day when everything will just fall in place and all our problems in life will be solved miraculously.

Little do we realize that we have to be the source for our miracle. We have to make it happen. We have to bring that element of change from within. Its not like one fine day someone is going to descend from the heaven and straighten out our woes by the swish of a wand. ( though we wish things were that easy)

So step out and do the things that you have always wanted to do. Don’t wait for that one fine day to start living. Love each day, live each day. You are never going to get back the day you lost .So don’t let anybody make you feel bad or bring down your optimism. Maybe we cannot do anything about the job, but what we can do is have our plate filled with other things to keep us motivated and look forward to each day with lot of positive energy and feel good moments .

Now what we want to fill our plates with is left to us . Sky is the limit, we could fill in as much as we wanted. The world is big and there are lots of things to be done/experienced. So let’s open each day with a new challenge and end it with the joy and satisfaction of having lived it to the fullest.

Love
