Compare us to our parents. Hard-working, stick with the basics, and do what you have to do.
Can you see the difference or is it just me?
I went to the University of Iowa where I was determined to find a passion that I could turn into a career. My theory was that if I have to spend 40 hours a week doing something..I better be enjoying it! I found myself earning a Bachelors in Health Promotion and enjoyed about 90% of my classes - now what student can honestly say that?
Now I have the privilege of spending 40 hours a week encouraging people to be active and pursue their health. (http://www.directlife.philips.com/)
Here I am! Working with a population that I have a heart for, standing behind something I believe in, and believing that I am having an impact. I have complete respect for my parents, they are two of the hardest working people that I know. And I REALLY appreciate them bringing me up as a dreamer, striver, go-getter.
Today I'm feeling thankful. Sometimes I get frustrated working at a computer so much and being "tied down" with a "real job" but I understand that I'm part of an elite group of people that enjoy what they do.
Side Note: Sweet article relating to what DirectLife is all about! For those of you show work in desk jobs this TOTALLY RELATES TO YOU!!
