WORK DOES YOU BETTER, IT'S NOT SLAVERY! FIGHT FOR YOUR DREAMS!
Hi Steemians, I hope you had a great weekend!
Today I would like to write about how often people relate to the reality of having to work and because for a large majority, at least in my home country of origin and a few others I have visited around the world people have a mentality and negative concept about work or about called workaholics.
I see many people on Sunday lamenting that on Monday they will have to work and on Friday they are in ecstasy saying: Thank God! I don't have to work tomorrow.
In my life experience I could see that this is the result of many factors but in this post I will concentrate on the ones that I identified as the main ones in my journey as a people coach.
Much of this negative view comes from a legacy that for thousands of years we carry in our genetic memory and is related to slave labor and of course this was taught from generation to generation and clearly the act of working was related to something negative.
I know that there are countries including in my some regions still exist slave labor as well as in many countries of the world where respect with people could be compared to the most perverse instincts that anyone can treat people.
But I would like to mention why this feeling exists in people who work in cities like New York, São Paulo (with over 12 million inhabitants), I'm referring to people of all professions and occupations that have this feeling inside that working is slavery.
I have come to many conclusions and in these specific cases I go back to the paradigms.
When the industrial revolution began especially after the second world war the generation that worked a lot in the industries were employed with very heavy functions and many had no study to be engineers, doctors, professions that the same generation had the desire and ended up transferring that desire or imposition for the next generations.
If we look at what has happened is that parents who lived at the time of the industrial revolution educated the next generation with a voice recorder repeating the phrase: You need to go to college and study to be someone in life and be successful.
Here we see another paradigm.
We currently know that going to college, unless you want to be a doctor, engineer or something like for example if you go to work with something that can hurt people. Currently the education system is inefficient and doesn't guarantee the success of anyone, if we can say that one day guaranteed!
A young person of about 15 years of age hardly knows what he wants for his life but he will make a college just be graduated and often this will not result in anything to these people.
The result of all this is the frustration of people who are going to work in professions that they would not want to have and as a consequence the work is seen with the negative concept because obviously this person will be dissatisfied with their life, because they realize that the your true dreams are getting more and more distant. With this, people come to understand that they are not living but are surviving.
Of course, there are exceptions. For example, I started working since I was 13 years old knowing very well what I wanted for my life but in some times I had to do tasks that I didn't like but I knew that these tasks would take me to the next step that would do me to get where I wanted to go in my life.
I was always seen by people as a person who only thought about working and didn't enjoy life but they didn't understand one thing: Work was never a punishment for me because I always did with pleasure my work and as a consequence for me my work always be my hobby.
I know this post will still have to have other chapters because I would have to write a book about it but I would like to share this message with you to reflect with a single goal.
Never give up on your dreams because working hard is important but you have to understand that if you don't like what you do think every day that you are doing this job but with the goal that it is only a period you are living to achieve the what do you want.
"MANY TIMES WE HAVE TO DO WHAT WE DON'T LIKE BUT WHAT IS US CONVENIENT FOR ONE DAY TO DO WHAT WE LIKE"
But do not forget! You should also plan what you want to achieve and have discipline for it. Read the previous post because it is completely interconnected to this.
Have a good week!
A BIG HUG!
I have been a trial lawyer for 38 years and I go to work every day determined to make the system work for everyone and to make the world a better place. Somedays are hell but most of the time I enjoy the battle with all its twist and turns. Before you say that is different because my job is boring or physically demanding, allow me one other point. I was a plumber working construction for a year before going to law school. I loved every minute of it. Digging ditches, joining pipe, operating a back hoe and my favorite, the jack hammer. I would go home after a hard day exhausted but satisfied. In high school I was a produce clerk in a grocery store. My produce rack became the most profitable in the entire southern region of Texas because I took great pride in what I did. Before that I was pumping gas and working on engines in a gas station. Loved every minute of it. My secret? It was the people I worked with and pride in being the best. We would all get together after work and share stories about a million things. Our lives, nightmare customers, idiot bosses, gossip. We shared a bond forged in the work place. It is my observation that the miserable people are miserable no matter what. They think a different job, different wife, different president, different life would make them happy. Wrong. They have some kind of depressive disorder and are unhappy all the time no matter what. My advice is to avoid these people like the plague that they are. Chase your passion and be your best. Everything else should take care of itself.
A very big thank you, just what i needed to start a new week. Have a wonderful week.
Same to you, @adeolu. Glad I could help start your week off on a good footing.
Thank you!
You indeed have a positive spirit towards work and that is a good catalyst. You unconsciously never saw what yo are doing as work. That is a great tip.
Regards
Thank you friend!
Hi friend, this was one of the best reviews I could read here. Congratulations, you exactly understood the message I wanted to convey to everyone here.
I believe 100% in meritocracy and it's just you look at my blog to see how much important information I've gotten past for people to achieve their goals. Some people will put this into practice and others will just stick with the theory. Welcome to my blog where my objection is to see people like you getting 80 upvotes from this community that I'm trying to build here with positive Minsdet.
You have 100% my upvote!
Regards
Thanks, friend. After all, we are all in this together.
Yes!!!
You're right, there are people who see everything negative, everything bad ... and they transmit that negativity ...
@chbartist sir !Government jobs of all the countries are scheduled to be privatized in the coming times. Of course, as much work as same like value. we need to change our thinking. No work is small or big. For those who are continuously doing their job honestly and hard-working, it does not matter whether or not to privatize jobs. Because such people get involved in their daily routine. The people who consider hard work as their religion, work like worship for them. That is why people say that work is worship . Conduct your duty with discipline and genuine passion and move a strong step towards your regards
Thank you, friend, for your contributions. His analyzes are always very constructive. Regards
Hi @chbartist, once again thank you for your post :) I think the problem is as you mentioned the education since people have to decide what they want to do in a very young age. I also wrote something about the problem with the current education and how you could change it. Another thing is that also the society has a part in this dilemma, parents, relatives or other people in one‘s personal life give not enough room to try different things. After doing 2 internships the society believes now you should know what you want. I believe this problem might change when we are adults and give our kids more room to try different fields because when you are passionate and like what you are doing, you can easily work on a Saturday and enjoy it.

Work hard and be passionate about it.
Dream and try to achieve them otherwise one might feel like a slave and develop negative mindset towards work.
This is the inference I drew from this excellent post.
I tell this to my daughter every day, be passionate about what you do as it will help you live your life and not allow to life to dictate your needs. I was fortunate to learn before college what I wanted to do instead of what I was told to do. It made my career feel more fulfilling. However, I still work for money instead of making money work for me which is why I have become so passionate about the potential of Steem and its ecosystem. I am enjoying the community as it provides great perspectives and experiences in learning how to adjust ones journey (like your paradigms)!

Nowadays it is very necessary to focus on the act of working on the things that one really wants to do in life, such as career, lifestyle, etc. There will be times when, as you say, we will have to do a job that we do not like but only to achieve what we want, and perhaps this is a detail that many people lack to be successful in their work, that there is no vision or reason strong enough to give the best of us in our work.
Exactly Juan!
I have dreams and I dream big, all I need is to make those dreams a reality, but I am finding it not easy, so every dream comes with a task, not day dreaming but working to bring them to pass.
Exactly, every day you should devote some time to fulfill your dream. No matter if 30 minutes, 1 hour, 3 hours. As I have insisted I intend that this community reschedule the Mindset and I am sure that if we change our habits for the better every day everyone can hone their goals. Regards
Hi!. Today I was talking to a workmate about this subject, and yes, you must feel incredibly happy with what you are doing or performing, because otherwise you will feel as if you where dying slowly. What a good post!, thank you for sharing!.
Thank you friend! Great words
