For better or for worse...with my job.
It is disheartening when you are working and your efforts seem unproductive.
Work, work, work! How I wish there is an alternative or palliative to it. Why must our lives depend on work? It is really taking its toll from all direction.
Let’s be honest, as much as we want to be defined by our family, friends, hopes, and dreams, in the real world we are largely defined by what we do for a living. That’s nothing new. Throughout history and across cultures the follow-up to the question “what’s your name?” has been “what do you do?”
It’s definitely a turn-off thinking about your job as among the most defining forces in our lives. Virtually no one wants to be tied to that. We want to be acknowledged for our intrinsic worth, our intelligence, our potential, and our past successes. “I’m so much more than what I do for a living” we say, and that’s basically true.
Sincerely, there is problem! They say the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. I say the first step is noticing that there is a problem.
I seem to be owned by my job. This because...
1. Most of My Waking Hours Are Spent At Work
2. Without My Job, I doubt I Will Have Money
3. My Job Determines My Market Value
4. And My Biggest Source of Negative Stress Is My Job
5. I Talk About Work All The Time
6. I Keep Procrastinating on Things I Ought To Want
7. I Have to Be At Work Even If I Am Not Productive
8. I Check Work Emails/Work Related Notes After Work Hours
9. It Has Been Difficult To Learn Anything Valuable Since I Join My Current Job.
My Life is Mine to Own...God help me.
