People Do Not Work Hard for Fun
Work is work and a chore for many, many people.
Only if you believe you have your dream job will you put in a hundred percent and be joyous while you do it. Only if you are like me. I won the jackpot in this life. Not only did I win the jackpot in my career, but I also won it in many other aspects of life that people consider essential for happiness: my car, my appearance, my home, my pet, my family, and my partner.
Why do people consider they will be happy when they have something else they do not yet have? Is it because what they have now brings them great grief and sadness? When I experience discomfort, disappointment, and unhappiness, I use anger and passion to change that situation and take what’s mine. Perhaps I am a type A personality, or maybe I am elitist, privileged, and self-centered.
If I have everything I need, I can finally focus on others, experience compassion, and be kind. I am finally asking people how they are doing because I can genuinely care. Being arrogant, selfish, or full of fear doesn’t make us bad people, though it does prompt us to do or say bad things. Each of us is going through the journey of life experiencing consistent self-development and change, regardless of whether or not we seek it out specifically. We can only change once we are ready.
