Vocational Woes....

Work Stinks!  You hear this more and more these days.  Its a problem thats plagued people since the beginning of civilized society.  The necessity to work, drives people to do things or say things they really don't want to.  It forces a person to become someone else, breaks down hope, and drains us of all of our energy.  The truth is though, that work doesn't have to be that way.  Heck it doesn't have to be "work" at all.  Now if your comfortable in your position at work, or you have the job of your dreams and couldn't imagine doing anything else, than the suggested workout for your vocation would be to improve you performance even more at that particular vocation.  If however you feel dissatisfied, and lost at your job, underappreciated, and walked all over, this workout can give you some assistance.  First, take some time and really think; do I need this job? More times than not the answer will be yes.  If its no than the solution is quite simple....find another job.  If yes, then ask yourself, how can I make this experience better?  Think about ways you can get focused and on task with your current employment, which will help carry the time better.  When you have free time, make a list of all the things you like to do, then try to think of ways to make them profitable.  Theres no time table on this exercise, so take sometime and really analyze the things you like and find a way to make money from it.  If something comes to mind, GO FOR IT!  The truth is that you only live once, if you find something that you feel gives your life purpose, or is in direct line with your purpose in life, do it, otherwise you may regret your decision.  For now, work on that list.  If you want, post some questions on the blog and feel the ideas out with other readers, you may find more useful feed back than you think!
