Not interested in your job? Feel your job is monotonous? Find it hard to get out of bed when
sun rises? Feel that you are incompetent and non-creative? Then may be it's time for a job shift! Read on…………………..It is indeed strange that people all over world are confused as to what is good for them. The reason is simple, they have been brought up to believe that world is full of suffering and to seek happiness is tough and futile. It's a shame that this should be case. The truth is far from what people have been made to believe. For one, there is nothing like suffering or happiness in first place. They are just human defined emotions. To live completely is to manifest ones dreams within for that is true purpose of ones existence. Do you think Einstein forced himself to think? Did he discover theory of relativity through perseverance of severest nature? If you have read about Einstein you would realize that for him thinking came naturally. The word to look out for in previous sentence is 'naturally', which means as nature demanded of him. It was inbuilt in his nature and he manifested it. Where from did this concept of suffering and sacrifice for success came in is astonishing. You really don't ever need to suffer; please don't confuse working hard with suffering for nothing can be far from truth.
Difference between working to live and living to work
To understand difference between working to live and living to work, let us take example of a software programmer. When you see a programmer tapping away at his keyboard for hours together, there are two kinds of assumptions that can be made. One, that programmer is suffering and sacrificing his life for his work to be accomplished and second that programmer is so interested in his job or that programming comes to him so naturally, that it's difficult for him to forfeit his job even for a minute. To seek truth, it is better that you go ask programmer how he feels about his work. If his reply is that it's a vocation for him, something which he is into for his monthly salary with which he would pay his bills; then you can be sure of one thing; he is no success and that his work will lack creativity. He is definitely sacrificing his happiness and health, for he is doing something he hates; in other words he is working to live.
But did he have an option? Of-course he did, everyone does. We all have a choice to exercise freedom of will and freedom to choose. Einstein chose to live a simple life and did what came naturally to him. One thing we should understand is that wealth brings happiness to those who seek out wealth as a source of happiness. For those people who seek happiness in art, wealth is of no significance. In case, in above scenario programmer was interested in his job and coding came to him naturally then things would be different. Now that he takes pleasure in what he is doing, he's manifesting his nature and hence there will be no friction what so ever; he will be healthy and loving. Here programmer is living to work and hence will do so with positive energy generating high end codes.
