I know people in my life who when asked how are things going, will reply, Im living the dream. Can you say the same? If you could, what would it mean?
As far back as Sigmund Freud, psychologists have been saying that there are two major areas in a persons life—love and work. When you are living the dream, you will be able to say that you have found satisfying work and are fulfilled in the relationships you share with the important people in your life.
Now, I ask again, Are you living the dream? Lets talk about work first. When you wake up in the morning are you filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation for what your day at work has in store for you or do you have a sense of dread about what lies ahead? Of course, these are two opposite ends of the spectrum and more than likely you fall somewhere in between.
As a parent, I always advised my children to choose a profession that they love because they will be spending a lot of their time doing it. I dont want them to be one of many who hates their job and dreads going to work every day. That is a terrible burden to bear.
So, what can you do if you are one of those people?
Have you...
