I spent many years when I was younger, working at jobs where the main lesson I learned was that it was not my job.
What if I had a job that I dreaded going to every morning?
What if I had a job that required a huge daily commute?
What if I had a job with no future? Where every day looked the same? Where I spent my time watching the clock? Where my income was limited? Where it felt like I didn't matter? Where it felt like I was in the typewriter repair business?
What if I had no job today?
What would I do?
Would I sit and mope, or learn to cope?
What if I CHOSE to have no job today?
What if I took a "well" day to walk a mountain path, or go watch the ocean waves?
Who would I meet? What might I discover about who I am?
Think about going from
EMPLOYMENT to
UNEMPLOYMENT to
FUNEMPLOYMENT
What if I had a job with a bright future? Where I loved going to work every day? Where every day brought new challenges? Where I was happy going "the extra mile", doing that one more thing before I left the office? Where my income was limited only by the energy I chose to invest? Where it felt like I made a difference?
What if I had a job that I loved going to every morning?
That would be going from
EMPLOYMENT to
UNEMPLOYMENT to
FUNEMPLOYMENT
This daily journal came from a promise. Right before Memorial Day 2009, I met with my business coach Joe Stumpf. I shared with him my total burn out in my business of 20 years. Frustrated by what my life had become, I promised to get up at 5:00 AM every day, meditate and journal and focus on bringing passion back into every aspect of my life, my work, my family and my personal growth. Instead of going to work every day and having a PITY PARTY, I have decided to have a PASSION PARTY.
