Dream job

Have you felt happiness when you've been so occupied with work that you forget about other things going on in life?

Being busy with work is a good thing. (Once in a while) Was so busy past three days that i could actually shut my mind towards everything else and just think about work. Yes, was physically tired end of the day but had a feeling of content with what i was doing. I call this happiness as i enjoy working. When they ask me how long i plan to work, all i can think of saying is as long as i enjoy working, i will. The day i feel I'm not happy with what it, will quit.

Was talking to a friend of mine and was surprised to hear about her dream job. She wants to clean the windows of really tall buildings. Another friend of mine always wanted to be a traffic cop. My niece wants to be a security guard to the locality we live in. A colleague of mine wants to be a truck driver. My dream job is to have a library or a book store of my own.

It feels great to think and talk about it, but how many of us really work towards making our dream jobs come true? What stops us from trying? Is it fear of not earning enough from it? Or do we not know where to start?

Come to think of it, my friend can get in touch with the facilities people and get trained on how to clean windows and give it a try. Friend can talk to a traffic police and learn about how they manage traffic and help him out. I'm sure Bangalore police would be happy to have another person to help with the traffic. If my niece wants to be a security guard even when she reaches the age to work, i would encourage her to work towards it. I can get in touch with my friends who read a lot, collect all the books and have a small library on weekends.

The problem i see is even in this post, I've said "I can" and not "I will". I can't expect and advice others to work towards making their dream jobs come true until i do so with mine.
