This work experience is so not me.
Sitting in my cube, wondering what the hell I'm doing here. I get this feeling, kind of like a festering wound. Every time I sit my ass in this chair, there is a nagging voice in the back of my mind that I don't belong here. But where? Therein lies the question. Whatever hop career-wise I make is a gamble that I will reach my Utopia.
I suppose I should start by trying to answer a couple questions: Do you do what do because it makes you happy? Or do you try to find happiness in whatever you do? The difference is not subtle.
One involves taking a pro-active approach to it. The stakes are higher. So much more is required of you emotionally, physically, intellectually... Is that where happiness lies? You, in fact, are creating your Utopia. Sounds good, right? Or is happiness in taking a zen--and more passive--approach, where happiness is all around you, and all you need to do is open yourself up to it? That is, understanding that this *IS* Utopia and it doesn't need to be created at all, since it's already all around.
Another question that continually gnaws at me is "what makes me happy (in the workplace)?" God, I can't even answer this basic question! What makes me happy one day, may not do it for me the next. What then?
