Work is what occupies my almost entire adult life right after college graduation. I got into tedious and low paying jobs but I gave my best as am not just motivated by money. I am happy seeing results - this is what motivates me.

From working in mass media, I decided to shift careers by going into Business Process Outsourcing or BPO industry. When I first applied in an a company in Clark that offers document management services, I didn't knew what I was entering into. My intent was just to get a new job as the pay am getting in media will not sustain me. I got hired as Web Analyst and I got hooked into HTML and creating websites. I later shifted to Litigation support, analyzing documents and indexing them. I stayed in the company for five years until I throw in the towel because I don't see professional development and career growth.

I tried going back to media but I later changed my mind because I am done with doing field work. I became accustomed to staying in office for nine hours and sitting infront of the computer. Call centers were "in" then and so I applied although I thought that I will only work for a year or two in that company. That two years became four years. Learned a lot and tested my health as well. I never knew I can do night shift for four years!

I took a hiatus from working in 1-800 and went to Singapore and Dubai. I joined BPO again but this time not a sales, customer service or technical support account, am working in a back office account. My new company is way better in terms of career growth and professional development. However, for some reason I find myself these days de-motivated to work. It has something to do with people I work with but I chose not to voice out my reasons anymore as one person believes he is always right. My motivation does not come from other people but I get demotivated with this person because I feel there is unfairness in the way he deals with me. However, I seek the higher purpose of why I work so I am not going to quit, will continue working and just leave it to God what He wants for me.

When we do our daily tasks and responsibilities not just in church, we also serve God. I may not be part of the Sunday choir or weekly cleaners but I do believe that by working am doing a service to God. I pay my tithes and I give my offering to church. Where does the money come from? From my company salary. I serve God by showing the life of a Christian wherever I am - home, office, mall etc.
