Making a living . . . .or living your life

What are you doing?
Is what you are doing what you always wanted to do?
Is it something you are passionate about?

Is it something you didn’t envisage, but have come to love or enjoy?

Is it something you always wanted, but now . . . .

Do you work to make a living

Or is work a part of your living?

My work has its moments....good & bad. Its something I never thought of going into but I did. I learned about many different things in a different way. Because of what I do for a living its made me more appreciative of life itself. My work is part of my living. So I say both in a way.

My work supports me for living my life. I work but not always full time. I enjoy my free time to do things. No I haven't done it all. For some people life is their work....sometimes a workaholic. I couldn't do that. I don't want to spend my best years working so I can enjoy life later...it may not come.

Lazly, that (how can you enjoy your work when you work for a boss)is a question I have often asked myself and came up with an emphatic NO, I CAN'T.
However when I asked others, a few said Yes

Zweet, it's strange how we find satisfaction in things we never dreamt of.
Which is why we should always try new things, we never know what treasures awaits us

To be honest,no I am not 100% happy with happy with what I am doing. Some things in my life are as I want them and others,like my career and such make me kinda sad. From the time I was 18 years old I lived a very nomadic lifestyle,and that to me was wonderful.

I always said I have wandering feet,but now my feet arelocked into a house and a mortgage. While I am making more money then I ever have I have never felt so trapped and confined.

Ate first I don't like my chosen profession. I studied in the health care field with one goal in my mind that time, to earn a respectable living in the future. I did make it through and I am glad I did. I never did like my job at first but as time goes by and me interacting with patients, their relatives and co-workers in the field, I began to like it. And it pays the bills, not just mine but including others close to me. 'Though I can't avoid feeling tired and drain at the end of the day. Its life.

Shay, I studied, went into my profession, liked parts of it . . . hated others.
It was the hate part that decided my fate and I walked away not knowing where I would go.
But I walked (via a detour) into where I am now

Put simply.

Work to live.
or
Live to work.
The thing is you are a long time dead.
Only a short time alive.
And there will be lots of work still left to do.
When you are dead and gone.
Just leave it for the peeps about then.

we can all learn from that . . . it lends itsself to a much happier and content life
