%y real9life story comes in as an eample which includes all
three situation mentioned earlier
I have always seen my work as my hobby and I am not afraid to
say it out loud even thou"h I w
and probably still am known by family, collea"ues and friends as
a workaholic 1ell, I don!t s
thin"s so ne"atively, because in my case,
I have erased the border between work and pleasure a lon" time
a"o
I have chosen my work, and this way I don!t do it because I have
to, but because I like it
5herefore, work becomes fun and I can invest everythin" I have
in what I do
( couple of years a"o, a work superior warned me about burnout,
the moment you are physica
emotionally and mentally overwhelmend with ehaustion 1ho, me4 I
don!t burn out from "oin" t
fast -ou burn out from "oin" too slow and "ettin" bored %y
family was thinkin" I am a lost cau
my friends were encoura"in" me to rela more and my collea"ues to
"o with the flow when in troub
1hat4 *o with the flow4 .nly dead fish "o with the flow dus de
val;
#lowly but very precisely, I have turned the wheel of my life
into a sli"htly different direction #o
people say it was because of *od, others say personal
relationships, or that some sort of ma
came into my life I still have no clue I $ust know I found
myself balancin" the work and personal
successfully, livin" a healthier life and adoptin" positive
rituals/routines such as "oin" out for wa
bikin", dancin", readin" and basically not workin" in the
weekends
I have kept the same force and the en"ine runnin" inside of me,
but have started to use my ene
more constructively and thou"htfully I have realied that I am
more productive if I take short breafor eample or if I make my $ob
more fleible I still like my work a lot, but I found out that the
wo
doesn!t fall apart if I miss one day when I!m sick or if I don!t
answer the phone in the evenin"
/Y (ON()0!ION
.ne of the lesson that have learned is that we are the ones
settin" borders/limits within our lives 1
let in the circumstances, the others, the events to rule our
life and it!s much easier to place the bla
on any of them I!m happy to know now that the secret of a "reat
efficiency doesn!t lie in a thriv
work, but in likin" so much what you do, that you prefer it
instead of anythin" else .nly then you
find meanin" and motivation not only in your work but also in
your life (nd from here on 7 only sky is the limit +ach day is way
too precious to be doin" somethin" you don!t like 1+ )++<
