I had a one-on-one with my boss’s boss two weeks ago. I had mulled over the topics for our discussion. The fact is I don’t want to appear unprepared for the meeting. It was a good meeting. He gave me a lot of encouragement, good advice and one very important point to ponder on.
He asked me to find out for myself "Where do I draw my strength from?".
I find fulfillment when I learn a new technology i.e. a TOI(transfer of Information) about a new product, read a book, complete a long hike, complete the Ashtanga sequences every Thursday night and learn to make a new dessert. I draw strength from tasks that make me feel fulfilled, whole and also nurtured my soul.
I started on a new job about 2 months ago. I realized after the meeting I am overwhelmed with work that I was and still am reacting to crisis and problem. I have not been able to keep up with my emails. I can’t seem to find the time to go through each and every one of them. I spend the day time in meetings and late afternoon catching up on emails and tasks. I need to get myself out of this routine. It is going to hurt me on the long run.
Don’t get me wrong, I love my job. I am learning new traits and searching for myself. I need goals in my job that would fulfill me. I need to draw strength from work. I don’t want to feel like I am working at all.
I have a plan. Now, my ducks are not in a row. I am adamant to succeed. I will come out triumphant. Wait and see!

I draw my strength from God, my boyfriend, my family, friends and an inner sense of purpose. If we are anything alike, I'm sure that you will have an inner ethos and purposeof your own that will hopefully ground you and give you the strength that you need for your journey.
No matter how bad things get, remember this... "This too shall pass".
I like my job too.
But, I hate working and the demands that work makes on my life.
