Dreama's Reality

It’s interesting, most of us spend most of each day working and those who don’t work are encouraged to get a job.

We have jobs, we want a careers, we have careers we want different ones.

When you were a child, asked what you want to be when you grow up, you probably didn’t choose what it is you do now. Or if you did, you never imagined the work involved.

Most likely you were bogged down over the course of SAT’s, GCSE’s, and further education and couldn’t quite see the connection between maths and being say an athlete.

The 2012 olympics is over and the news is filled with how we should magic-up money for sports in schools, because of course that’s the saving grace now that we’ve hosted it. We’re totally manipulated by whatever the trend is – where was this great need for the next Jonathan Edwards a decade ago?

There are studies about how television programmes affect how we feel in society or even influence it which seems to confirm that the course of life itself is the determining factor in what you choose to work doing.

Sure, you can have a burning desire to be a dancer, a scientist or a chartered accountant – but how did you get there? What was the formula? What fuelled the desire? – Chances are outside of money and/or quality of life – it was some romantic idea you created that has nothing to do with the reality of the job at hand.

And if you’re there already, if you’re doing the work you absolutely love everyday, you are a rare kind, not because you love your work, but because you love it everyday.

That, is the dream…
