Awakening to Life's Authenticity: Working In Service

The traditional 9-5 work model, introduced by Henry Ford, an American industrialist and business magnate, in 1926 revolutionised the work landscape. Ford's vision was clear, he believed that a shorter workweek would not only boost productivity but also contribute to improved well-being. Maybe he was right, maybe he wasn't. I let you be the judge!
However, as we fast forward to the present day, the traditional model combined with unconscious pursuit of capitalisation and the demands of daily life is something that needs to be revisited.
The demands and challenges of daily life often lead us into a rhythm of unconscious living. We become unwitting victims of a capital-driven society, working tirelessly to earn more so we can acquire more.
In this relentless pursuit, our passion projects, natural rhyme of living, spiritual practices, and entertainment activities become relegated to the weekends and holidays.
The illusion perpetuates a cycle where we forget our dreams, lose touch with our bodies, and overlook the simple acts of breathing and thinking.
As we are living a life confined to the unconscious 9-5 working model that was designed for a completely different purpose, we embrace a disconnection from our true essence. The dichotomy between the working week and the weekend creates a divide between our professional and personal selves, limiting our ability to live authentically.
In reality, we live in a cycle that we cannot ever end or win. You earn you spend you survive, you earn more, you spend more and you still survive. The cycle never ends but your time, your youth, your energy does have a limit.
So now, how can we change this?
Breaking free from this illusion involves a conscious effort to reconnect with nature, practice self-awareness, rediscover the essence of our existence and most importantly working from the space of Service.
Working from an act of service involves approaching your professional and personal endeavours with love, passion, and dedication to making a positive impact on the world around you.
Don't get me wrong, I am not asking you to work any less or more I am talking about a change of mindset and this shift of mindset and conscious prospective can help you to change from victimhood and trapped in a model that was employment to a purpose-driven.
The conscious living breaks anything that is not aligned with your values in life. The conscious living guides you to fuel your cup first, breath regularly to connect and understand your body's language, and generally check in and then decide what is it that you want to do next.
In doing so, you naturally stop doing things that are not aligned with your true self. Naturally you become more productive because you are working for your dreams and your passion is guiding you. Naturally the world becomes a better place. And that is the true transformative power of connecting with one's essence.
