Doing things we love

Things we Love

What are those? What does that mean? The things we love? Because it brings happiness? Why then if doing some kind of job that we udes to like, over time it is not that enjoyable anymore? What is really that things we love? Then, can we trust our own feeling? Love. Could that thing we love, is actually bad for us? I am bored with my lazyness. I was thinking, how could I? Wasn’t it everyone’s dream to be able to be free from work 8-5, be free from standard of routines boring job? Yet, I am not satisfied with this kind of too-flexible job anyway. So, what is it actually, the things we love?

Flip it out

What are things we hate? It is when we experience bad things. Or we are so bad in somekind of job or skill. Maybe it is something we dislike. Or maybe something we have trauma about. All correlate with bad experience and dislikes. But most of us, need to do that. We are obliged to take the job, we force ourselves and make decent reasoning on why should we take the job and keep it for years. Salary, status, stability, loans, all wordly materials in it. Yet, we hate the job.

But, the thing is, the problem is not the job. There are people out there who likes your job. So, it’s not “the jobs” fault. It also not your fault “disliking the job”. It is only matter of-again-mindset. We are born as a complainer. Even if we have wealth, we still complaint about other thing. Everything just not enough, we want more and more and more and more. We started hating the job we used to like, because we think it is no longer give us pleasure as the first time we got the job. We started overlook wealth and people that used to spring our heart as the first encounter. We devaluated them to the extend that we hated them. We felt like this is not what we want. This person is not the one we want. You want more and more. You felt like you chose wrong person, bad job, bad decision. While actually, nothing changes. Your loved ones didnt change. Your job didnt get worse. Your salary is not decreasing. You are the one who changes. Your perception, your desire, changes. It became greed. It is not necessarily saying that you shouldnt work hard to get more, or not evaluating your relationship with people. But, beware with ypur perception. If you want more, or complaint about something, first ask yourself. Did I changed? Did I do my best? Do I expect too much? Am I being ungrateful? Why do I need more?

Things you love, people you love, all started from the feeling. That person might have characters you adore, awe you. But it doesnt mean they don’t have it now. It’s just a matter of “liking” in the first sight. “knowing” on the first time. Those spark of knowing someone knew. Surprised by their actions. Do you expect people to surprise you with new quality or astounding character every year? You don’t even able to do that. Job you used to love, yes you can try new jobs, but is it really becuse you pick wrong job? It is not. You choose it for a reason, you may not remember it now. But, if you try harder to remember how happy you are on the first day work. Despite of the type of the job. You do feel happy.

As if the First Time

The first, always memorable for human. Yet, not necessarily the best of all. Some of “the first” are only for lesson. But there is always “the first” in the second, third, hundredth, if you make it so. Let’s say, your first day job is so exciting, you have new friends, new task, lunch, etc. The next day you are still excited. But then a year later you feel bored, and maybe some accident happened, your boss scolded you. Or at some point, you are tired with the heavy load. Then you started thinking, “this was not a fit job for me”. Hey hey hey, dude. Do you think, work will always be haydaydooedoeeyadidawuue everyday? Even holiday in the beach could have its own cloudy day. It will happen. Bad day will always be there. On your most-liked job, or on your worst job you ever take. It will always have its ups and down.

But,

The thing is, why people say do your passion. Work on your passion. Do things you love. It is also true. This is ment, that with something that you truly love, you will less likely to complaint when there is a bad day or some mistakes on it. You will be more tolerable. You even more motivated, since you like doing it anyway. Not that high salary? So what? You would even do it unpaid. So you will less likely to complaint. That is why, at first, yes choose your job decision wisely. But once you are in the routines already, don’t give up too early. If it didnt excite you anymore, and you want to change the job, sure go ahead. But make sure it is not a false hope. Since whatever job you have, if you didn’t appreciate it, and make effort to keep it exciting, to keep yourself motivated, it will dissolve itself. So, make the effort on you, before trying on someoe else, or other things. Change ho the way you look at the job itself. Does it actually give a good vibe on you? Make yourself a better person? Point the finger on yourself.
