Have you found the calling of ur life ? Its a tough question to answer..because there's no real formula for it. Its not "if you do A, you'll find B." Its a question that requires you to look within and usually its the start of a lengthy, but fulfilling journey. Time ceases to exist or just flies. The other day I was resting on the couch finishing up my office work. I usually listen to music while I work at home and before I knew it 50 minutes had gone by and my playlist was finished. I'd entered a state of "flow" and the idea for this post actually came to me in that exact moment ! I was so caught up in what I was doing that my sense of time had become distorted. As time goes by, I can no longer distinguish between work and play. Its said that if you love what you do you'll never work a day in ur life. Because you rarely see it as work. It is more of an opportunity for learning and having fun. I will when one day I look at my work and I feel like a kid in candy store or a five year old in a tub of legos. I think that's the moment I'd probably found my calling :) I think that the 8 hour work day doesn't make any sense. 8 hours a day? lol..that's an ideal state. This structure of work has caused far too many ppl to live for the weekends. That means we are only looking forward to 2/7 of our life. I dont know about you but I want more out of life that a fraction of what's available. I'm an addict. Its just the way I'm built. When I love sth, I want it to be part of my life as much as possible. The pursuit has just amplified that addiction. I think I enjoy every of my addiction as long as they're not the kind that kill me. I dont need a reason to pursue a passion and I am inexplicably happy at the same time. and I keep my fingers on the pulse of the moments in my life that make me feel like this. Those are the signals that will let me know I've found my calling in life. Right now...am I ? lol..
