How to Love the Job You’ve Got

I'm just reposting this article from powertochange.com written by Claire Colvin (all credits belong to him). I've found some enlightenment after reading it. It has challenged me and I know you will also after you read it.
As a call center agent, my life is not easy. Some people defines this type of job as stressful and unhealthy. I cannot blame them as partially it's true, especially if you're on a toxic account.
Everyday I have to motivate myself to keep me going as there are really those days that I'm in the verge of quitting.
I thank God as everyday, He's showing me that He's just right there with me and ready to help. That's when I feel confident and assured that I can make it.  I know that I can do all things through Him.

Every day we hear about people making radical career changes.The opportunities exist, but will all these changes make us any happier once we get there? Maybe the question is not “how can I get the job I’ll love?”, but “how can I love the job I have?” Following are four practical steps towards coming to terms with why you do what you’re doing. Take some time to think about it, and you might be surprised by what you find.

1. Realize that your job does not define you, but how you do it does.There’s a lot to be said for attitude, more than will fit here. Any job can be done well, done with compassion, done with care. Your attitude at work and the way you treat people — even your mood — does not go unnoticed. They have a profound influence on the people you work with. There are times when you can’t control your situation, but you can always choose how you live in it.

2. Stop focusing on the money. Money will never be enough so stop using it (or the lack of it) as an excuse. Whatever you are bringing home on the 15th and 30th, there are always going to be things you could do or would do if you had more. Try taking tracking every penny you spend in a week. Seeing where your money is really going can help you to refocus your spending towards the things you really want. Getting paid is only one small part of what you do, your work has to be more than just a paycheck to be fulfilling.

3. Find the significance in what you do. This may require you to think big, but it can be done. Take some time to really think about what you do. Do you provide an essential service? Do you get to see the finished product? Do you give direction that gets things done? Then ask yourself “how is this job done differently because I am doing it?” Perspective plays a huge role in personal satisfaction and sense of well being. Try to remember why you took the job in the first place. If it was only going to be “for now” are you actively looking for other work?

4. Dare to ask yourself if it’s worth it. If you can’t find the part of your job that you like, or if you can see yourself turning into the person you said you would never be, consider the reasons. It may not be a new job that you need, just a new direction. Do you like the person you are doing this job? If not, are there changes you can make to the way you do your job or is the job itself the problem? Do you need to be doing a different position within the same company? Are additional responsibilities taking you away from the work you were hired to do? Maybe all that’s needed is some refocusing. Learn to say “no”. As much as you can choose the things you spend your time on, don’t attend events or meetings only because everyone expects it.

Asking yourself why you do your job doesn’t mean you’re dissatisfied, just self-aware. This awareness can lead to greater job satisfaction, increased sense of well being and a little more control over what you do, rather than just “going along for the ride.” For some, it may be time for a change – if so, don’t be afraid of it. Change isn’t necessarily bad, it’s just different. For the rest of us, take a look around, you may find you’ve got a great view.

When God Made You

It's always been a mystery to me

How two hearts can come together

And love can last forever

But now that I have found you, I believe

That a miracle has come

When God sends the perfect one

Now gone are all my questions about why

And I've never been so sure of anything in my life

I wonder what God was thinking

When He created you

I wonder if He knew everything I would need

Because He made all my dreams come true

When God made you

He must have been thinking about me

I promise that wherever you may go

Wherever life may lead you

With all my heart I'll be there too

From this moment on I want you to know

I'll let nothing come between us

I'll love whatever you love

He made the sun He made the moon

to harmonise in perfect tune

One can't move without the other

They just have to be together

And that is why I know it's true

You're for me and I'm for you

Cause my world just can't be right

Without you in my life

I wonder what God was thinking

When He created you

I wonder if He knew everything I would need

Because He made all my dreams come true

He must have heard every prayer I've been praying

Yes, He knew everything I would need

When God made you

When dreams come true

When God made you

He must have been thinking about me

So Close (Enchanted)

SO CLOSE

(Jon McLaughlin)

You're in my arms

And all the world is calm

The music playing on for only two

So close together

And when I'm with you

So close to feeling alive

A life goes by 

Romantic dreams must die

So I bid mine goodbye and never knew

So close was waiting, waiting here with you

And now forever I know

All that I want is to hold you

So close
Almost believing this one's not pretend

And now you're beside me and look how far we've come

So far, we are, so close
How could I face the faceless days

If I should lose you now? 

We're so close

To reaching that famous happy ending

Almost believing this one's not pretend

Let's go on dreaming for we know we are

So close 

So close

And still so far

Rain Photography Part 1

I love rain so much. It makes my mind wander and daydream.


I love watching raindrops at our window and see the flowers and trees dancing on gentle wind while raining.


I love the idea that you're at home, watching TV, reading books, lying on the bed and eating popcorn. That is just so perfect.


So everytime I see photos about rain it make me just want to wish that it will rain.


Here, I've made a collection of rain photography. All credits go to their rightful owners.
