Sometimes I wonder where all the dreams and aspirations I had went&#8230; and realize it just fizzled out and died after I started working. Now it just seems like a daily grind to just trying to keep my head above water, rather than shoot for something exciting and inspiring.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s say when I was a kid I wanted to be an astronaut&#8230; obviously that dream is gone, but why? I can say, I lost the interest of going into space or saw how dangerous it was, but I would attribute almost 100% of it saying that my perspective has changed. The job qualifications and dangers of being an astronaut hasn&#8217;t changed, but as I grew up I either saw it as something I couldn&#8217;t do, or something that I was unable to see myself giving up certain other aspects of my life to continue to strive to become.  So&#8230; what is the end goal&#8230; or what am I striving for?<\/p>\n<p>I think that&#8217;s the thing that I still can&#8217;t grasp at times and have lost within the 4 years of working.  More and more I&#8217;m realizing that I can&#8217;t find contentment in things that I used to&#8230; whether that&#8217;s because I&#8217;ve become so unhappy with the things around me or I&#8217;ve just become so desensitized by it.<\/p>\n<p>I think I need to re-find the joy in my work or a sense of accomplishment with what I do or it&#8217;s going to be harder and harder to wake up everyday to go into work and feel like I&#8217;ve done anything productive or useful.  Yes my clients like me, but is that enough for me to say that I did a great job today?  Since your job is where you spend a majority of your time, it&#8217;s such a pivotal part of how you define your success and happiness.  Obviously, that&#8217;s not the be-all-end-all in life, but definitely a small thing that I thought about on my cold commute into work today.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s sad but I feel like more I get older, the harder it is to be enthralled and have a sense of wonder.
