I don’t need to follow my drive, I need money, I’m getting it and I’m happy !!

**If not read, please read the earlier post first

Many of us think, I don’t need to follow my drive, I’m earning good money and I’m doing right thing. The problem is that we are not understanding that actually we are working for someone else drive. We are not creating our own future. Our future is in someone else hand and once our job is done we might be thrown out also!

If we are hungry it is must to somehow fill our stomach first. But this is not the way of living our entire life. We have to replace this “somehow” with a way of earning bread on our own. When we follow our drive actually we are doing it. That’s why it is very important to follow our drive.

Consider an organization which is geographically distributed. When outsourcing work to some third world country why they are always outsourcing some non-core work only? anything which is not core will never give any strong skills and you can be easily replaced/thrown out for such kind of work.

There can be multiple factors for not getting core work. One of the factors is, most of the people in third world country are hungry and just running behind making money; there are very few people who want to follow their drive. Working on core requires more people with drive and that is missing.

By not following our drive, we are not creating problem just for ourselves, we are creating problem for people comming after us as well as coming generation. If we continue working same way for long, we will learn and grow in the same way and we will create a culture which will force people comming after us also to work in same donkey way.

The money which we are getting somehow today is not going to last forever. Its better we realize it and start working on our drives.

This is not applicable just to people, organization also need to focus on its own drive and provide an environment where people can follow their drive in alignment with organization drive.
