Many people seem to believe their “jobs” are their identity. When we tell people what we do to make a living, we frequently say “I am a teacher” “I am an engineer.” Think about the power your job or occupation has over you.
If you love what you do, and you are able to learn and grow in the process, that is the best possible situation. But, if your work consumes you and you do not keep in touch with friends, that is a problem.
Most of us are guilty of doing just that. Whatever time your day starts, the routine begins, all of the necessary things completed, we get to the task at hand. No matter what type of work fills your day, remind yourself of how fast time flies. The older we get, time seems to go faster. Remember how important people are that care about you. Do not take them for granted. Stay in touch with those who you could count on in times of need. Not every one of your friends would make that list, but you know who they are.
Try not to get so wrapped up in what you do, and remember who you are. Be grateful for your friends. If you are fortunate enough to have family members as friends that you can count on, it makes it that much better. Take nothing for granted. “Now, let’s get going!” xo Sally
