The Search For Enlightenment

I guess that as someone with a good job, one that I really enjoy, I am one of the luckier people in today’s beleaguered society. Of course there are days when I would rather be spending time with my family, out walking by the sea, or enjoying the sights and sounds of the New Forest. But having work to do is, in itself a joy.

Lately, work has been pretty hectic, new projects and new challenges, and the whole team has been working hard to stay on track. Today was looking like another all out effort, early start, followed by a drive up to Newbury, and a set of objectives that were pretty tough on paper.

The day started with beautiful sunshine, so the holdup en-route wasn’t so bad, sitting enjoying the rural views from the A34. All in all, it was a very pleasant drive. Just being out of the office also made a really nice change. They do say that a change is as good as a rest, but maybe that is overstating the situation at times.

Although the work didn’t go without a hitch, we did eventually get even more done than originally planned, and although the sun didn’t shine all day, it only rained whilst we were in the office. Oh yes, and having got the work finished and out of the way, it was truly glorious by the time I set off for home.

So a really good day when you look at it, and so easy to focus on the best bits. Having a positive outlook, and enjoying the highs while letting the lows slide by is definitely a recipe for success, not to mention happiness, I thoroughly recommend you give it a try.
