Love my work

I feel ver confident, and competent at work

I can’t say how important it is to have work you love – and I’m not talking about a mystic calling, just work that engages you on some level, that’s satisfying, that keeps you interested. I think I wasted a lot time trying to find my “purpose” – when the reality is, a person will naturally gravitate toward their aptitudes and interests, if they give themselves the space and time to do so. My work makes me feel smart and capable – which is a positive corrective to the past.

Today, I will love my work by treating it with the respect that it deserves – through the whole process of it, and including the boring and tedious bits; by not complaining about it, or resenting it – but really appreciating the opportunities it gives me to learn and grow and think.

Still loving my work, the process of it anyway, if not it’s “product” which has yet to materialize in any determinate, concrete way…although that will be very difficult a few days from now…

I am absolutely loving my work at the moment – really into it, really grateful for it. Hopefully this will stream into some form of gainful employment, at some point. I do really love working with ideas, and I think I’m pretty good at it too, but I need to figure out how to organize my files. I realized this week, I actually like to be able to see what I’m working on. I like stuff to be visible; if feels (and in fact is) more accessible. Once something goes into a file, it stays there – and what’s the point of that? I wish I had all my ideas and reasearch topics visible at the same time. Maybe I need to get a big post-it wall, like tv writers have, as I’ve oberved in magazines. I don’t have a lot of wall space, but this is a priority, now that I think of it. I can make beautiful. I can make it work. I want it to be inspiring. I always tell myself I want to be “organized” and yet – what I want is to be happy and productive. So I may need to invent my own system here.

I’m getting back into really enjoying my work again, looking forward to getting to my desk in the morning, and feeling my mind work creatively and productively, trusting and appreciating the ideas as they come to me. But I have a long way to go with this…

At age 60, I would like to finish my work life doing something that I really love, that benefits people, and that adds joy to the lives of others.

Something that I would do even if I weren’t being paid for it; creative and genuinely my own.

I don’t think I could ever love work at a corporation. My own gig, or a startup in which I’m an early stakeholder, yeah. Haven’t done those things yet, but I need to keep them in mind.

I love my work because I make people work efficiently and I give them a convenient environment for work. I also want to improve the other side i.e. better socialization with others, more confident. and not only work,work,work. I want to make it very interesting, enjoyable, have fun when dealing with others, learning. Actually I want to make it DEEPER than that.
Thanx

My current job is connected to my housing and expenses related to that. I actually live where I work; So the cash part of my work is very small. This is difficult for me while I am going through a divorce, but I LOVE living alone. I am an innkeeper and gift shop manager and I sometimes despise my duties in the gift shop. I am seeking ways to make this time more enjoyable, since I don’t make much money doing it.
I feel as if it is a complete waste of my time and talent.
