To be honest, there are few people in this world doing exactly as they planned in life. It is amusing that many people will keep a job they truly do not like. They will have friends they “tolerate.” They do task in life, not only because they need done, but because they want to feel normal.
Why work in a place to earn a check? You should work where you are having fun, enjoying what you do, and those you work with. If you are putting yourself in a position or situation where you are not liking what you are doing, then you are putting yourself under more stress than necessary. That NEGATIVE stress can cause ulcers, crankiness, heart attack, and what ever else chooses to effect. Get what you need (experience, education, and a positive work history), and then get into the job you want. The job that will be your career, something that you can walk in with a smile and keep it thought out the day.
”Tolerated” friends, hmm that just sounds wrong. I mean to tolerate them? I love my friends, I have learned to accept the good & bad in them … although I have made a few mistakes with some of them (I am freaking human). If you “tolerate” them, then you aren’t where you should be. People are fun to be around, comical, entertaining, considerate, and so much more. They are the ones we trust with our secrets. The ones we help when they are down, and they return that favor. If you don’t have friends like that, then a great suggestion would be to find them … or you can stay miserable, your choice.
Every day there are tasks that we have to get done. Taking a shower, brushing teeth, eating, getting that project at work complete, and that list does go on & on. Don’t do them because you feel you have to. Do them because you want to, because you need to. Definitely do not do them to make yourself appear “normal,” after all what is “normal?” Is it going out with your friends on a regular basis? Is it completing a task that gets you nothing but another one right after it? Personally I don’t want to be grouped in the “normal” category, I prefer simply being me, the personality that developed though out my life. Good or bad, it’s simply mine. So why
There isn’t a fairy tale ending out there, either. What is out there is life. It can be easy or hard, it can tear you apart or make you smile because what you have completed.
When I was a kid, I listen to the fairy tales. At one time, I believed that a knight in shining armor would arrive … but I was very young, and naive. The only knight you are gonna have is yourself. As for the armor, well you can build it around your heart but what are the costs?
There isn’t a “normal” out there.
