Fulfillment in your job.

I spent last week in Breckenridge, Colorado. It is a very cool place. There is this different mindset there, the people are "chilled". I'm not just talking about the air temperatures...I mean the folks out there are in a different world. And...I guess they should be. They live at like 9,000 feet above sea level, and they are in one of the most amazing surroundings i have experienced.

While I was out there, I had a conversation with a guy in my brother-in-law's kitchen. He was talking about his job. He was ecstatic about his employment. Not just happy to be employed, but ecstatic, excited, exuberant, elated. He is a UPS driver. His face was jubilant, his posture was positive. He raved about how his route was awesome, the people were awesome, and the work is awesome. All I could think of was, why is this guy so happy with his job, and I am not. I work in a field that I thought would be so cool, so fun, so creative, so interesting, yet everyday i wake up with this crappy feeling in my gut, and worry about what kind of shit storm i am going to walk into. I envied his perspective, and the joy he found in his job. I want that. Where do i find that kind of perspective? If i could reflect that kind of awesomeness in my job....if i could find that thing that gives me hope, or joy in my job...i would change, not out of a desire to change, i would be formed from the inside.

Its cool to get perspective from other people. It helps us understand, who we are, and who we want to be...
