Life Lesson

So Saturday night a work was particularly hellish.

I don't want to go into the details because I have already done it a hundred and fifty times though just know that this night took any other "bad night" at work and laughed at if for being a punk.

So anyway this night just followed me around all day on Sunday, I talked about it when I got up, kept mentioning it periodically during the course of the day. I did not get to have a day off because I felt like I was working again all over by just re-living the night before...all day.

So last night I started writing, and the sentence came up "Robby, you make sushi. It's not saving lives. Why do you let it get to you?"

Why do I let it get to me?

I have let my job become who I am. It consumes me in various non-healthy ways. But at the moment work is all I have, besides reading and watching movies. Work is all I do. So in a way what I do has become who I am.

I need to make myself realize that work is not what I am but at the moment a means to become who I am. I think the sooner I can get this through my head the more likely I will be able to be happy with work and happier in my story.

I always feel like God teaches us lessons in every moment if we are just open to them. I think right now im learning to me patient and learning to love the uncomfortable moments because they are what really make the story good.

So we are going to try this today. We are going to go to work and try to enjoy being in that moment because this moment is just a step to getting where I really want to be. So love it.
