Love for Work and the Trap of "Being" - February 14, 2026 💞
On the occasion of Valentine’s Day, we often find ourselves discussing passion in the workplace. 💖
I have always believed that to truly succeed, you must be in love with what you do. It’s a profound truth: loving your work provides a unique sense of inner fulfillment.
However, there is a thin, almost invisible line we must be careful not to cross - the line where work stops being just a part of who we are and starts becoming our entire "Being."
It is a love that can transform into a "blind" bond, gradually isolating you from the real world.
We often commit ourselves - almost unconsciously - to an endless cycle: countless hours at the office or the store, back-to-back meetings, events, grand openings, conferences, and business trips.
We become available 24/7 to solve remote issues, glued to screens at home, even pulling all-nighters (yes, those still exist) for the sake of the job.
In doing so, we sacrifice our presence in real life - with our families and our loved ones - under the illusion that this sacrifice defines us.
But if fortune shifts and one day that professional relationship or workplace is lost (through no choice of your own), a massive "reality check" follows. 👊
In the void of a "termination of partnership," you suddenly realize that if you have identified your entire existence with the title on your business card, then your "Being" fatally equals "Nothing."
This leads to a painful and dangerous internal collapse.
In that difficult moment, the realization that the people you considered your "team" or "family" might move on without you is another harsh blow.
The support you expected, the recognition of your value beyond your professional role, seems to vanish.
It feels as though your last remaining certainties are crumbling, leaving you to face the void alone.
This isolation - the feeling of becoming invisible - intensifies the breakdown.
Your identity, once so tightly woven into the company and your colleagues, dissolves.
The silence of work-friends makes the burden feel even heavier.
So, what should we do?
We must refuse to let our professional status swallow our human nature. Our "Being" needs roots in our families and personal lives, not just in offices and corporations.
Let’s have a Love for Life in all its forms! 💞
Let’s invest in loving life in its entirety, because the moments spent with our loved ones are the only capital that can never be "laid off."
