It's Never Too Late...

How many of us are happy with our work right now? While many of you are saying “I am very happy,” there are some with the response “I am not, honestly.” This article targets the latter. So why do we feel so despite having worked for many years? When we have enough work experience and are financially stable, happiness should follow us everywhere. But that seems to be not the case here.

This is because we work for the sake of working, for our bread and butter. Where is the ‘joy’ factor? We go to office or do any other work because it pays us. We invest our energy all day in something which is never of any interest to us. So, as we have heard it often, either we have to love what we do or do what we love. We try to love our work and assume sometimes that we do, but the reality is we can never love what we do not like. Most of the time, we give up hope and continue with our internal stress because in our later years of life, there seems to be no option left.

However, there are some wise people in the world who seem to tell us through their quotes exactly what/how we are supposed to think—‘Age is just a number’ and ‘It is never late to begin.’ The man-made beliefs should not de-energize us. Also, let’s not worry about what others will say. No matter what we do, some people will keep on passing comments upon us. When we know what we are doing, ignoring and carrying on is the wisest thing to do. It is our life after all and we have every right to live it the way we want.

We can always start our life again. Whether it is by learning a new language, skill, technique or by working on our long forgotten passion or hobby, we can have an open mind and welcome new opportunities towards our way.

While it may be risky to leave completely what we are doing now and make a move, it is a good idea to add to our life what we love. So, instead of starting a new work, it is wise to complement our ongoing life with the things that we had always wanted to do. By doing this, our mental status shifts from being stressful to being productive too.

After all, we have one life to live. Why not live this life doing the things we always wished to do rather than making them the ‘wishes never come true’? When we do the things we love, we become happy and are at peace. This soon resonates around us making everyone feel the same. When we know the vibes are meant to spread, why not spread the positive ones?
