Is your professional life far from your personal life? WHY??!

There are instances where people have to choose whether to live by their principles or by their career. But why do that when you can align your behavior to what is asked by your profession?

When you work in an INGO, it's a no-brainer that you are committed to "walk the talk".  Not that it's hard, but it's somehow different in your other side - which is the personal life. But it is very doable. And it's not something forced on you, specially when you love your job.

Say, you work in a high-ranking position in a private company - that also translates to you acting or being the professional one in and out of your office, and even in your social media. Respect begets respect. It's that simple, right? But yet so complicated to some. 

If you wanted to keep your aura of being the cool or the feisty one whilst working as a big time boss, chances are you might not be getting the respect you should be having from colleagues.

On a micro level, we can just look at it as being a parent - to set example, you have to embody the person that you want for your kid. Or if you want your kids to respect you, you just don't do shit, right?

Simple as that.

And yet, it does not work with a lot.
Why? Because people like having a different life away from their personal life. 
Why? Because most probably - they just work for money, not for the passion of it.

I am not asking everyone to set an example, or control your real self just to please others.

But, I was just really wondering.. is it that hard to be nice, and stay nice?  Is it that hard to live your live that aligns to what your career requires you to be? 

Maybe it's cool that way for some, I just find it disturbing because I feel like they are living a double life :-P

Bottomline is, look for a job that satisfies -from your skin til your soul.
