Choices I don’t know what it is, but I’ve had this urge to write these past few days. What about, you ask? I have no idea! But something always comes out from nothing so we’ll see where this one goes. I just came home from doing a radio show and I realize how blessed I am to be able to do what I love every week. I wake up everyday wanting to go to work. Now when was the last time you heard somebody say that? It’s not rare to meet people who really love what they do but it’s definitely not the majority. I realize that your job should not be treated as if you’re still a kid back in school, looking forward to the breaks and the time you finally get to head home. I do believe that we all need to take a breather from time to time but there’s a difference between wanting and needing to take a break. I see it everyday, people bitching about their jobs that take up almost half of their day, five to six days a week. Why keep doing it? Maybe that’s the reason why everybody seems to be looking for an escape nowadays. Some take time to travel, engage in sports, or get lost in art. It’s different for everybody. I say whatever gets your mind right then go for it. But what is it that we’re really escaping from? I realize that when you feel purpose in what you do, and you feel strongly about it in your core, why would you want to escape from that? I noticed that I’ve asked several questions in this entry already, but it’s through inquiring that we open doors to the unknown. We need to take the journey within to get a familiarization of a new way of being. That sounds like something a monk would say, but I find truth in it.  So let me ask you, do you feel the purpose in what you do or are you just represented by the amount you get paid? Remember that it’s the choices we make that determine the quality of our experiences. I hope you start making the right ones. - Pat Jamlang Labels: Choices, Pat Jamlang 3 Comments:I think most people need, not want a break. Monotony in the workplace can just kill the motivation you have inside of you. In addition to that, the digital age we live in is just, in my opinion, too much for us. We are training ourselves to multitask and the pressure to have instantaneous results for everything encourages us to spread ourselves too thin at some point. That, I think is the root of the problem. This is Hazel, btw. :p
By Hey Hazel, thanks for checking out the blog. I think most people are too caught up in the game that they forget to ask themselves what they really want. We like to skip steps and wonder why at times we feel as if something's missing. Life is about the choices we make. Take time to find YOU before you try to tackle the rest of the world.

I can totally relate! I remember that before I started working, I took time out to reflect on what made me happy, what I was passionate about and what I liked to do. Read a lot on the subject as well! It turned out all right, but time to time, I find it helpful to re evaluate the choices
