Love what you do?

Doing what you love to do, and getting paid for that; well that’s what you call a dream job. However, most of us are stuck in the rut; stuck in a job where we are doing it just for one reason – MONEY. To exist in this world, in some sort of decency, we need money. To earn it we need a job.

Every now and then big ideas crop up in my mind – How about starting a business? Now, self employment is indeed a great thing. No bosses to report to, no strict processes to follow, no waiting till the end of the month for the salary. Ah bliss! But even if we are self employed and doing what we love to do; it’s imperative that the others also like what we do; in fact like it so much that they start using it, obviously after paying us for it.

So the question is not whether we are happy with what we do. Are others who pay us happy with our work? It’s said that every individual is gifted. Even the most vegetative looking person possesses some talent. Channeling that talent is the need of the hour. Let’s not wait for someone else to find out our talents. As adults we all know what we are truly capable of. I am sure our talents will be of use to somebody. After all there are close to seven billion of us on this planet.

I hope that we all discover our true calling. Let’s start minding our own business(es). :-)

May god bless you!

Flip the TV channels, turn the news pages, almost everything is now breaking news!!! It’s becoming more like freaking news these days. Only floods, landslides, virus outbreaks etc are making headlines. I have this habit of reading the papers as soon as I am out of bed. Sadly though, all this negative content has started to make me feel miserable for the rest of the day.

There is a quote made by Leonardo Dicaprio in the movie BLOOD DIAMOND. It is “Sometimes I wonder... will God ever forgive us for what we've done to each other? Then I look around and I realize... God left this place a long time ago”.

Well this movie is about the ungodly things happening in Sierra Leone and Leo is referring to Africa in general when he says that. Nevertheless, I still feel there is hope. God has not left us. But he is angry and that is showing. I hope we learn quickly and start obeying Him.

Here’s a little poem I wrote dedicated to my dear God.

God created man, with all the love he can.
To play the game of life, and win all hearts; lose strife.
No one doubts, no one doubts, that god is the greatest.
He sees what we don’t see, just believe in his signs.
There’s nothing we have to do, just need to build on his designs.
No one doubts, no one doubts, that god is the greatest.
