Love your work, Work for love, Work and love

Work gets routinary, we get bored, we resign, we find a new job, work gets routinary again, we get bored again, we resign again, we then find a new job AGAIN...and the search for a promising career to resignation becomes our ROUTINE a vicious cycle!

They say that all jobs will reach a point that things will become routinary, boring and demotivating. But what is the secret of successful professionals if this is true? How can someone enjoy doing something that he keeps on doing every minute of every day? Tell me about breathing. Is it a different thing? Sure it is! It's involuntary, and we need to breathe in order to be alive.

Having said that, is breathing really a different thing? Tell me...

They say it's passion. Passion is the love for the things that you do. Without passion for what we are doing, a person can stop at will, at anytime doing anything that he or she is pre-occupied with! It's optional - voluntary! Unlike breathing!

But isn't the will to live the reason behind breathing? Yes, breathing is involuntary but we have the option to engage in activities that will paralyze our lungs and STOP breathing, and DIE! Now, breathing and working may not be the same thing but isn't PASSION TO LIVE and PASSION TO PURSUE OUR DREAMS just the same? Passion is the ultimate reason for doing the things that we do.

How about love? How about waking up each morning seeing the same person beside you, going to work, going back home, having dinner, watching movies or just TV programs, having sex, sleeping and waking up just to the same thing all over again? Don't you have weekends? You may ask but that's just philosophizing things. So stop. Do we apply passion here? Passion to what?

By all means, YES! Apply passion in your love life! Passion to what? Is it plainly PASSION TO LOVE AND BE LOVED? Or is it as profound as PASSION TO GROW AND LEARN FROM AND FOR SOMEONE? I think it's actually relevant. First, ask ourselves what is it that sustains me to live with and care for this person? If we get answers that are temporal, think deeper. If nothing comes out, then maybe we don't have the PASSION and that we are just attracted and that we are not actually in love. So you leave the person you're with now? I don't know.

Bottomline is, for us to achieve self fulfillment, we have to have passion in our lives - in all aspects of it! This will sustain us to do the things that we do over and over again, fall in love with the same person each day and reach our full potential as an individual!
