I like work: it fascinates me. I can sit and look at it
for hours. I love to keep it by me: the idea of getting rid of it nearly breaks
my heart.
– from ‘Three Men in a Boat’ by Jerome K Jerome
So often, so many of us keep staring at an increasing
pile of things that keeps building up as we allow it too. It seems to be stuck
to the place where it rests. Eventually the pile-up rises to such proportions
that we seem helpless in having any control over it.
It is pertinent to note that it is not the pile-up that
weighs us down… it is the attitude of apathy. It may start with indecisiveness
but it is eventually about disinterest. If we are interested we will take on
and sort out any pile-up rather than let it lie.
Disinterest leads to a lack of feeling, emotion or
concern about something. It is a state of indifference, or the suppression
of emotions such as concern, excitement, motivation, or passion. An apathetic
individual get caught in impassivity and indifference.
Interestingly doing things or being active normally
excites interest or emotion. We can enthuse ourselves by being dynamic in other
things as well. If we are excited in life, we will be excited at all facets of
life, including work!
When enthused & excited, you find
Apathy will not remain in the mind!
