Spent the last couple of days away from the family and the Christmas madness since I have a lot of catching up to do. The idea was to spend as much time at work as possible and cut out the commute and other distractions. I have always been a morning person and so set of everyday at a pace at 8am. Come 7pm I am done, near brain dead and needing to stop. I try to motivate myself, I could do 16 to 18 hours a day years ago but it is not happening now and I know why. First of all I am no spring chicken, as I have got older I find I need my sleep, all 7 hours of it. Don’t get me wrong, I could work for the rest of the time if I have a passion for what I am doing which is not the case at the moment. My job has changed so far away from what it was, when I enjoyed it, right under my nose. Under the stress of keeping on top of it, I feel exhausted and no matter how I try I cannot be motivated. For people who have never felt passionate about their work or is it play, I feel sorry for you. Loving what you do keeps you healthy and content and should be every person’s dream. The problem is that should you be too successful, it is likely you will find yourself in a position (management anyone?) that will remove you from what you love. Trust me the magic is quickly lost and if you are in the positive now, guard it jealously, money and power can be a poor substitute. y dreams of moving on as my previous post is about recapturing the passion. I just have to hang on a bit before I go but I can’t wait. May your passion be strong.
