Work Life Crisis

Funny that the past week my siblings have been ranting about their own careers. Perhaps feeling plateau on what exactly they were doing. As for me, I always felt i took the right road. I was enjoying what i was doing-- the cafe seemed to be oiled enough to work on its own while i explore things beyond what its status quo is.

Status quo in latin means, the mess we are in. Some people think that having a business is the end all be all of life. People in the corporate world dream to be their own boss and actually retire having travelled the world and able to enjoy the investments they have earned thru out their working life. Today, the mess that i was in came face to face with me. Dealing with heat and a main line of hot beverage isnt really the best combination. staying afloat with what we have to deal with financially, i have to face the music of staff members who create irate reasons for me to just want to change them-- yet the law doesn't allow.

I like what i do. I like having this expertise and being able to share what i know to people who maybe interested with the line of work that i do. I have been invited to be career speakers from high school kids to college kids and in my most honest and humbliest opnion, this is where i get my strength to do what i do.

We're five years in the business. I still remember how i didnt like doing the hands on things that i do at work. I was reclusive of the fact that my dream of being a diplomat was not gonna come true. But i learned to love what i do. I learned by doing, i learned from the learned, and i even learn from the unlearned. But i dont know what i cannot feel the same passion from other people as before. How come i ended up doing this alone again but everyone wanting a bit of everything.

Work Life Crisis. Probably a state of work life when you know you like what you do but the world doesnt want to cooperate with you.
