Finally Friday - day 33

Have you ever noticed that most of us wish away our days?  Yes, those of us who work Monday thru Friday get to the end of our weekend and think to ourselves something like, 'Ugh tomorrow's Monday again.' Then when Monday happens, we watch the clock in hopes that somehow it will speed up and the day will end.  Counting the minutes to break, to lunch, and to the end of the day in hopes that watching the clock will make it go faster and we can be done for the day.  Through the week, we constantly wish our days away, begging Friday to get here so we can be done and have our lives.

A long time ago I read a quote that has stuck with me. 

Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life. ~unknown

Some are lucky enough to be able to find this early in life.  Others of us are not so lucky.  We jump from job to job, career to career, company to company, even some being entrepreneurs.  Working a day to day, hour to hour to make ends meet but wishing away our days, weeks, even years, to get to retirement. 

How depressing is that?  Another quote I heard was, we are born and spend the first 18 years growing up.  At the other end of our lives, if we are lucky, we spend the remaining years living on what we accomplished.  We had better like what we are doing in the middle or life is gonna suck.

At 49 years old, I have come to the conclusion that it is important not only to enjoy what you do but to be appreciated as well which is making me really rethink a lot of choices I have made in life.  I am very interested to see where this new thinking is going to take me.  I am open for the change if that is the path I take.  This will be a test I am ready to take because life is too short not to be happy.

Goal:  Stop self-sabotaging myself, stand up for me and what I am worth, and BE HAPPY!
