Suriviving the modern jungle today is one of the greatest challenges to humankind. the jungle I am referring to is none other than--OUR WORK! Life and work balance for many people is paramount to their happiness. -With the dawning of the new decade (of poverty and terrible financial crisis)-it's a common belief that work is nose-to-the-grindstone drudgery and that loving—truly enjoying—one's job is impossible.
I am a multi-spirited worker. I wake up six o'clok in the morning--and be at my work seven-thirty even if my duty calls at nine, i stay in the office til 7:30 in the evening and do my work with less than 30 mins break every day.... maintaning that "work spirit" is enormously challenging; upholding a positive and open state of mind, a full sense of self and a sense of higher order can be truly difficult ( especially if people around you at times fails to look at the energy with the same intensity and intention). But however difficult work can be---I make sure that I have the "fun" energy to start the day. I'm a firm believer that the more joyful and excited a person feels about his/her work, the more the productivity goes up. There's no question about it.
Prodded by a quest for the higher efficiency needed to compete in the career-market, I am now personally jumping on this so called "love your job" bandwagon. Even if most of the time I get so much pressure from work, i still try to look at it as something joyful. Honestly, there's a great relief when I connect with my work--emotionally. Most of the time, work is the natural and the crucial way for me to express who I really am. As another day comes, I believe its still up to each of us to take responsibility for our own job satisfaction---loving your work is a mental state and it begins with looking into our very own "work-spirit".
Happy working!
