It's Clear
I went with a co-worker of mine to a luncheon. It was ok and people were talking about making contacts and stuff, you know business talk. Then at the end this woman was like, "ok, well We are going to rap it up, so we can all get back to making money"
I can think of a dozen better things to be doing with my time than making money.
Why do I feel so crappy on mondays? Is it because Sunday God is whispering in my heart what I'm supposed to do then Monday I ignore it.
My work is sucking the life out of me! It is a useless pursuit of money. I need to serve, to see results, and feel a satisfaction that I am making a difference in someones life. Cause It is not There!
Why do I feel great hanging with a 9 year old skating, but feel like crap at the end of a workday where I'm supposedly making a living.
Most of you know me, I'm upbeat and optimistic, but lately I've been struggling just to get up and go to work.
It needs to change. I have no money despite my efforts. I need to make a living but not be consumed by wealth. Where is that happy medium?
Pray for me.

there is so much more to this life, regardless of the twisted perverted junk society tried to engrain into us.
slowly, some of this generation is starting to wake up to this realization and finally beginning tolive instead of merely existing.
john, you can serve others while still making ends meet. i'm living proof of this (lol though some days i feel i'm just chasing ends instead of meeting 'em). while i'll never close multi-million dollar deals, or have that grand house in the burbs with the 3 car garage and instant american family (lol can ya tell i despise the "american dream").....
nothing can compare to the smiles and hugs i receive on a daily basis. simply by serving others who are fighting to remember.
my greatest challenge is pursuing my passions in an avenue that will allow me to serve the greatest 1:1, without all the stupid co-worker soap opera drama or red tape that binds me from being as effective as i can.
bah, enough of my rant. john, i understand your frustrations. know i'm here in your corner through this unsettling change.
