Me? Are you kidding? That’s right my dear child, you can say that too. This seems to be my latest reply to all the madness going on in my life. Freak Show Madness I might add…

The seamless goo

It appears that when you do what you are during your work hours, you can no longer distinguish between yourself, your cliental and the room you are in… they all run together in some seamless goo. In other words, you cease to be aware of your limitations, and I personally think this is because they have been substantially eliminated. When your work is actually an extension of who you are, rather than what you do, life happens.

Life happens? What was going on before life happened? A form of death my child. There is nothing on this spinning celestial ball worse than getting up in the morning and exerting energy in the direction of something you don’t like… it makes your hair hurt. It’s sort of like digging a hole in concrete with a plastic Dairy Queen spoon. It’s not like you exit your Friday with a sense of inordinate affection for Monday. When you are one with your work, you no longer distinguish between week-days and week-ends because they all run together now.

Melodramatic risk-taking on steroids

Listen my dear ones… if you are dissatisfied with your enterprise, if your job is a nightmare on elm street, you have to believe you can wake up. You have to believe you are destined for more than the five day a week hate club. You have to have hope. Hope will bridge the gap between faith and total disbelief. Hope will as the scriptures purport, become an anchor for your soul… the part of you that needs to be satisfied. Begin believing this to can change and then start looking for signs of the anticipated way out. Remember, opportunists always live by the door.

Ask you husband or wife what they see you doing with your life, because they are a good indicator of who you really are. Don’t waste your time asking yourself – because you’ll probably lie. This is why Jesus asked Peter; “Who do men say that I am?” notice he didn’t say; “Let me tell you who I am.” Your first step is to ask 5 people who they believe you are, and what they could see you doing with your life. You don’t have to obey it, but you should at least take it into consideration. Others tend to see you as you are, while you tend to see you as you think you are. Once you have done this, contemplate it with a serious thought process. In other words, take it seriously.

Don’t be just another idiot

Don’t start the self pity club and make yourself president. Start with the idea of knocking it off. Some people would be better off as slaves in Egypt compared to their demanding work schedules and moronic bosses. You deserve better than that. If you are not rewarded for your talent, time and genius, you are being punished for it. All work is a system of either rewards or punishments; there is no middle ground. If you do not feel rewarded for your work, you may want to entertain the idea of jamming a pen in your neck, because that might feel better. Don’t allow others to frame your world because they will always frame it too small! We were created to be creative and to produce in all that we do! 

Take responsibility for your life for heaven’s sake and stop blaming your boss. If you don’t like your job, leave it. Staying and complaining is reserved for jerks and other mild mannered losers. Decide you are going to change things and then forge ahead with some bright ideas for once. Mount an emotional coup-de-tat on yourself. Don’t stifle your creativity, grow it… or else you might fall into the category of just another idiot.
