Why is it so difficult to be contented with the things
you already have? Why is life so complex?
They say life is simple and that you only live once so
carpe diem. But how will you enjoy life if the things that could make you happy
are out of your reach? I’m not talking of material things per se but the most
important thing (next to family of course-because family always comes first) is
the way we live, the ways on achieving the life that we wanted. We don’t just
need to earn and spend. I’m talking of nothings else but a job or more
appropriate to say A CAREER.
Life is ironic.
Yes, you are working full-time in a big company. You feel
extremely happy for spending more time working because that would mean an
overtime pay. When pay day comes, you’re
one of the people who will definitely run to the mall to buy something for
yourself or for someone even if that something isn’t necessary at all. You tend
to spend more that saving for your future. A few days after payday you’ll
realize you only have few bucks left to spend for your everyday needs. To calm
the nerves you’ll say, “It’s okay, I need to reward myself for my hardworks”.
Life is peculiar.
Having a career is rewarding. Especially if someone you
work with notices your contribution. Yes, we all work to be successful and be
recognized for our commendable performance. Right? You don’t work your a** off
8 hours a day just so you don’t have to consider yourself as part of the
growing unemployed population of the country. YOU ARE EMPLOYED. But are you
satisfied? Have you asked yourself this question before? What was your answer?
Life: Pool of secrets
You’ll probably say “yeah, I’m satisfied with my career
right now”. But then when you are all alone the question will pop-up your head,
echoing and saying “dude be true to yourself, you can’t hide anything from me”.
It’s a secret and no one else should know. You even hide it to yourself and
don’t try to acknowledge it even if it bothers you sometime. Yes you earn from
this but are you happy? If yes, then congratulations! You’ve found YOUR career.
It’s really for you if you’re happy with it and can stay with it for the
longest time possible.
Life’s essence
Happiness
is the keyword here. Without it, you’ll never be satisfied. It’s like living
each second everyday with doubts and asking yourself what you really want and
makes your career going elsewhere. I didn’t write this to encourage people from
leaving their current job. But this is more on learning to assess your current
job. Furthermore, to name the reasons that make you stay in your current job. I
would like to emphasize that earning should not be your only reason for working
but happiness and satisfaction. Paycheck is just secondary (but ALWAYS comes after the first-you know what I
mean). You could even assess your day before going to sleep. “What have you
accomplished today?”.
Life’s security.
I would like to encourage you, my dear reader, to NEVER
ever give up on chasing for the right career. There’s a lot of time to do that.
Never settle into something that you are in doubt, or you are going to live
your life in misery. If you’re not happy with your job, then that’s the time to
quit. Remember, misery has no place in the process of achieving your goals.
Instead, misery serves as hint that you aren’t happy anymore and should think
and process everything. You’ve had
enough. You should explore a lot of possibilities to a brighter future with
YOUR career.
When you are “in” the right path, you’ll feel secured
with everything. Enjoy life the right way with a right career. Obstacles are
part of it but those are great way of harnessing your potential to be the best
you can be. When sunset comes, you’ll feel accomplished, happy and secured.
You’ll be contented with who you are and what you have. Stay positive and
motivated. Life is funny ironic, peculiar and sometimes strange. But life is
also the chance to give LIFE to your existence. Take risks, always re-evaluate
your thoughts. A big break is just waiting for you to hop in. That’s it! I hope
you’ll enjoy life to the fullest, soon.
