The latter is indeed both a blessing and a fulfillment, but there are other blessings outside your voice over studio that brings you the same and even better sense of joy and fulfillment. And this, in reality, is often overlooked. <\/span><\/p>\n This article does not aim to wreck your dedication to your voice over job, but rather wants to show you a different perspective that may help improve your working habits and lifestyle. <\/span><\/p>\n Let me ask you, why did you choose to be a voice actor? If it is apart from money \u2014 a feeling that it is your true calling that gives your life meaning and purpose, here\u2019s what you need to know: You bring the meaning to your work; and not the other way around<\/i><\/strong>. No matter what you do for a job, you can always create the meaning you want. While this might seem like a controversial idea to some, if you really examine it, you\u2019ll find it to be true and accurate.<\/p>\n Believing the idea that work is more than just a way to earn money is what you call \u201cworkism\u201d. It is pretty much the same as to worshipping your work if you view your job as the core source of your identity, life\u2019s purpose, happiness and fulfillment. And workism, is in fact making Americans miserable<\/a>.<\/p>\n We are neither telling you to trivialize your job nor be unhappy with it, but do not be so immersed to your work to the point that you are worshipping it. Why? Because work was designed as a way to earn money, not as the be-all end-all to the meaning of life. <\/span><\/p>\n One of the dangers with trying to make your work be meaningful is that most work is not meaningful. It\u2019s work, and generally something you probably wouldn\u2019t do unless you\u2019re being paid to do it. And sometimes, you might just be tricking your mind that you enjoy your job than actually enjoying it.<\/p>\n When you tend to devote your entire life to work, worshipping something from which you can actually be fired, you\u2019re setting yourselves up for a painful fall if the market doesn\u2019t behave. And its behavior is out of anyone\u2019s control. The concept of workism is falling flat itself, with Gallup reporting nearly 90 percent of workers are not engaged at their jobs<\/a>. It\u2019s also creating a culture of misery, perhaps explaining why anxiety and depression have increased significantly over the past 40 years<\/a>.<\/p>\nWhat is Workism? Am I worshipping my job?<\/b><\/h1>\n
