Are you going around in circles?

Do you feel like you are merely going around and around and around? Do you feel like you are wasting your time at work? Do you refer to your job as the "Daily Grind?" Are you like the merry-go-round in this picture? Why do so many people feel like they are spending their days at work doing a job that has no REAL meaning? Well, I think that many people take jobs for reasons that have nothing to do with what they are passionate about. I know several people that have a BTN attitude about work. That is a "Better than nothing" attitude. So many people feel that their job is their lot in life and that the idea of enjoying their job is beyond comprehension. Society has gotten used to this attitude.

Many people are forced into this position due to choices that they have made that may have put them into a desperate situation. Some people are put into this position due to circumstances beyond their control; divorce, sudden death of a spouse, etc... But for those of us that don't have an excuse like that, what is your reason? Why are you going around and around? Take a moment and reflect on your passion. What would you like to fill your days doing? What type of impact do you want to have on those around you?

You are the only one that can make this choice and time is ticking away.

What does your desk look like?

Is your office where you want it to be? Do you spend 40+ hours a week at a place where you want to be? This is a picture of my 2 desk today. We are in Kansas and I am set up in a lounge behind the sanctuary at a big church in the middle of nowhere. I am constantly talking with people who tell me that they hate their job. They feel trapped and they are stuck there without another choice. Do you feel trapped? What can you do about it? Well, there is good news. You are the only one that can change where your office is. Do you feel like you are doing what you were created to do? Are you merely giving the best hours of your day to someone that is getting rich off of your hard work? Even if you don't aspire to be wealthy, do you feel like your hard work is really only helping your boss get rich? Do you feel like your current job will allow you to make a difference? Are you merely punching a time clock until you can retire in a senior adult village one day? These are hard questions that we must answer if we are honest with ourselves. We aren't getting any younger and we don't get any do-overs. What is your choice? There is no time like the present to really start living.
