Work that Fills You with Energy!


Some people, or maybe even most people talk a bout how much of a drag it is to go to work... I, however, have found a profession that I look forward to going to each and every day and even think about it always when I'm not there. Why is that, that for some people, they just go to work because that it what they have to do while others go to work because they "get to do" what they've chosen to do every day? Why isn't it the same way for everyone? Are there simply not enough of the preferred jobs to go around, or what?

I think that maybe the only way to get an answer to this question is to utilize my job. No, I'm serious... All day, every day (that is the weekdays), I go into schools (really just one school per year and it may be that I go the same school, as that is my job) and help the students there to discover what it is that they love to do. They may already know what they love to do, and that's fine--I will just help them discover more ways to do the thing they already love to do.

So, let me rephrase my first question (or maybe just repeat the same question...): why is it not the case that everyone loves their job? Seeing as how there are school counselors advocating for students in schools and helping them to discover and chase the job of their dreams, why haven't all of the students in the USA discovered their passion and the job that they will love to do?

Why aren't you happy in your job?

What can I do to help you to be happier? Happier in your job and happier in life (for most people, their job is or has become their life...), won't you just let me help you?

It's not too late; it's never too late.

So, what do you say? Want to get happier?
