tell me what's in it for me, tell me now what's in it for me!

People always say that you should always be looking forward to going to work every morning. Once u lose that feeling it means that you've lost passion for what you do, and its time to change.

But after 1000+ days of working life, I realize I was no really motivated when I wake up to work. The only time I looked forward to in the morning is when its my first day wearing that new work shirt or pants, sporting those new awesome looking dress shoes, carrying a new man bag, that belt, new hairstyle, trimmed brows... U know what I'm saying. There are things that motivate me to go to work but it doesn't happen everyday.

But towards the end of the working day I always feel good, not only because I have finally gotten off work, but because I know its been a productive day, I know I've managed to do my day's job - its the satisfaction I feel for completing a day's worth of work. My demotivation just seem to decline as the day goes by and turn into a positive situation for me

Well I don't know how it works for u, but I guess this is how I find happiness in what I do.

And of course the anticipation of seeing my girlfriend at the end of the day is what I look forward to the most each day :)

I stumbled upon an interview on the radio the other day about these two ladies who started their own ice cream company. What made the interview interesting is the fact that that's probably where everyone of us want to be at.

They both had a few years experience working for someone and just decided that its enough, its time to do something they can own. I always think of working like studying. None of us (except a few of us) really enjoyed the process of studying, we really enjoyed school cos that's where we met our friends, played, made some crazy stuffs... But not studying.

Just like work, I don't love my work (if any of u think that's sad, FUCK YOU! Cos its not), its just that I think I'm meant for something bigger. As we grow there are many more limitations, lesser things we can do as age catches up. But that also means we should be focused - in the sense that we used to have 10 things we dreamt of, but now there's only 3 possible things to achieve.

I haven't found my "calling" yet, but its pretty close, I pretty much imagine me in the future and knowing how I want to be like, and I've been thinking about where I wanna be in 10 years. Now its about finding a way to reach me in 10 years.

Whether it'll work or not, I don't know.
