Starting a new job takes so much excitement and thrill out of us. We get chills down our spine when we walk into the door to our new job. Our excitement takes us to levels and experiences to the point of saying “YES” to everything the boss asks us to do.
We’re amateurs and we want to learn everything there is about the job. We want to become professionals at what we do so we push ourselves every single day.
If the phone rings, we will pick up it up. If someone asks us to stay late to help out, we will. If our boss will ask us to do something outside our normal duties, we’ll do it.
Everywhere we go, we talk about how amazing our new job is and we hype up the job we do.
Time goes on and we somehow dim the fire that’s been pushing us to new challenges and opportunities. We say the job is “okay” and we become bored.
We don’t push as hard as we used to, and every time we’re asked to do something extra, we find an excuse to get out of it.
But what would happen if we came to an understanding with our brains that we will not lose the fire, the ultimate pull that takes us to greater places? I would assume that if we went full force into our relationships, jobs, careers, entrepreneurial ventures, our religions, our communities and our self-improvements we will not be in a place where we are right now.
Let’s be realistic. If we decide to become professional amateurs, with the spirit of going forward no matter what, we would expose ourselves to opportunities of wealth, success, health, and happiness.
