Love thy job

The world keeps doing a seemingly important task. Of reminding you of what you do not have.
That's how progress (consumerism) works after all.
It is quite interesting how it on one hand tells you to have the bigger phone, smarter house and at the same time tells you that you must love your job and not work for money.
It is a thorough recipe for making one feel miserable about his or her life.

Dangling a carrot above you and then telling you that building steps to get that carrot is wrong if you do not like building steps.

Love your job. Follow your passion. Shun the 8-7 routine. And then be prepared to be snubbed by that loooong car you see from the auto rickshaw. Brain f***ing material.

The question then arises is does everyone have the luxury to do this? For some the carrot is simply two square meals.

That apart my key point here is of capability and your passion.
In an ideal self - help book you may read that when you are passionate about something you give in your best and the result is always miraculous. Yes. For you.

Is it miraculous enough to get you to the carrot?
Having the luxury to follow your passion is one thing.
But having the Capability to do so, is a different part altogether.

All the inspirational photos and quotes must come with this disclaimer.
So people stop feeling guilty or miserable for taking the road most travelled.

Afterall there are many who did not get an opportunity to travel even that one.

Alternatively, chuck the carrot and go for a lemon instead. Lemons are good too. I like lemons.
