12) The 9–5
Could it be something more?
Am I the only one that feels like the daily grind is just unfulfilling sometimes? Some days it’s just so routine. Get up, shower, breakfast, work, home, whatever for like 3 hours, bed. Do it again!
We aren’t robots. It’s hard for me to believe we were ever meant to do this most of our lives. But, most of us will commit to this type of schedule without batting an eye.
We see the people at work more than we see our own family sometimes. We have to maximize ourselves at the 9–5. We just do. There’s no way we can keep skating through as robot zombies for the rest of the way. I refuse.
I hope you do too. Let’s challenge ourselves to invest in our 9–5 instead of just survive it. Look for opportunities to learn, build relationships, and make a difference. We don’t have to just watch the clock.
There’s lots of life in that 9–5.
