Its been a long while since I've scrawled something, but the time seems right for another dump. Time has been short trying to balance work and living. In fact, I would say that work has dominated my life the last 5 months. With that said, does "work" define you? Does our working lives define who we are as a person.
In the past, I would have said "no way". However, what we do in our working lives and what we do in our personal lives is actually very much the same. We don't just want to exist on this planet, we want to live. When we thrive at work, we thrive at home. The happiest people I know are the ones who treat work the same as play. Whether they attack their work or are passive about work, as long as they live their personal lives the same as their working/professional lives they are indeed happy.
Work doesn't define a person, but having the same passion for work as for your personal life will blend your two worlds to knock your "happy meter" off the charts. After you read this and you are dreading going back to work, think how you can change or what you should change to get that passion back. Life is short enough without having to blindly exist for 50 hours a week working at something you have no interest in. You owe it to yourself and the company that you work for.
As for me, I'm living even though work has consumed me recently.
When are you going to Start Living!!
