I was asked recently, “would I still do this job if I won
lotto?” It took me a while to answer but
I have to admit I probably would. Why? I hear you ask? Well, this took me some time to come up with
a logical answer.
The truth is, I actually like what I do for a living. I like being my own boss. I like my clients and I’m very good at what I
do.
Now, I’m going to get a little philosophical here, but I firmly believe we are all put on this
Earth for a reason and if you have a skill and not utilizing it to further
mankind in some small way, you are wasting your time here. Each of us has a talent, a contribution to
make. Some people take longer to find
their strengths than others. That’s
OK. I know what my strengths are and
when I consider my response, I think the reason I would want to keep doing what
I do is because I know it adds value. I
know I am enhancing other peoples working lives and experiences and helping
them to also achieve “great things”.
Would it be lovely to practice my skills without the added
pressure of making a living?
Absolutely. Would it be nice to
pick and choose and only do the things that inspire and lift me? You
betcha! Would I work quite so many hours
a week…..hmmm maybe not but I think the ones I did work could be my greatest
yet.
I’ll keep buying my lotto ticket but I don’t think I need to
worry about making those decisions just yet.
Good thing I like my job.
