Why Do I Go to Work?

By Godwin


Every morning, the alarm rings.
We rise, dress, and step into the rhythm of routine.
But beneath the surface of this daily choreography lies a deeper question—one we rarely ask aloud:
Why do I go to work? Why do I do what I do?

Some answer quickly:
“I work for my family.”
“I must provide for those who depend on me.”
These are noble truths—anchors of responsibility and love.

Others say, “I love what I do.”
But let us be honest: that answer is rare.
And yet, it is the one that transforms obligation into inspiration.

So how do we get there?
How do we move from must to meaning?

It’s Not Just About the Money

We’ve all seen it people earning well, yet feeling hollow.
And others earning modestly, yet radiating joy.
Clearly, fulfillment isn’t found in the paycheck alone.
It’s found in mastery, in becoming good at what you do.

 The Power of Progress

Think back to a time you tried something unfamiliar.
It was awkward. Frustrating.
You weren’t productive, and there was no reward for your time.

Now flip the script.
Imagine sharpening your skill.
Learning. Practicing.
Suddenly, the same task becomes smoother, faster, more rewarding.

Being good at something doesn’t just make you efficient, it makes you proud.
And pride in your craft makes the daily grind feel less like a burden and more like a calling.

 Growth Is the Gateway to Joy

Loving your work doesn’t always start with passion.
Sometimes, it starts with progress.
With the decision to get better.
To show up not just for the paycheck, but for the process.

Here’s what that looks like:

  • Invest in growth. Read, ask, practice.
  • Celebrate small wins. Every improvement is a step toward mastery.
  • Reconnect with purpose. Whether it’s family, legacy, or passion, let it fuel you.
  • Find joy in the journey. Even the drudge has dignity when it’s tied to progress.

 Final Thought

Work becomes meaningful when it is not just about survival, but about becoming.
Becoming better. Becoming useful. Becoming fulfilled.

So tomorrow, when you wake up and ask, “Why do I go to work?”
Let your answer be:
“Because I am building something. In me, and through me.”

Misrepresentation

By Godwin
  Real estate in Zimbabwe can be incredibly rewarding—or painfully costly. The difference often comes down to one word: misrepresentation . Whether you’re buying your first stand or selling a family home, the real estate space can quickly turn from a dream to a nightmare if the truth is distorted. Let's unpack the different forms of misrepresentation, what it costs you, and how to avoid it. What Is Property Misrepresentation? Misrepresentation happens when false or misleading information is presented about a property. Sometimes it’s intentional, other times it’s just careless. But no matter the intent, the damage can be real. Here are the three types: 1. Fraudulent Misrepresentation This is deliberate deception. A seller or agent knowingly lies—maybe about the condition of the home, the legal status of the property, or editing photos to hide structural problems. Example: A listing shows a clean, newly renovated house, but in reality, it has foundational cracks and severe plumbing ...

Understanding Title Deeds in Zimbabwe: What Every Buyer and Seller Must Know

By Godwin

Whether you're buying, selling, or investing in land or houses, understanding title deeds is not just important—it's essential. This blog post breaks down what a title deed is, why it matters, and how to avoid common pitfalls. 1. What is a Title Deed?
