What am I Doing and Why am I Doing This?

*If you want to read this, please read this article completely, do not stop before you finish

I keep asking, what am I doing, and why am I doing this?
To be honest, to tell the truth, over and over again I kept thinking of this:

I have to stop this whole crazy insurance agent thing

Look at me;
White shirt, black skirt, and pantovels
A woman’s pantovels

This is not true.
This is not me.
This is… bullshit.
I’m not this… serious woman with working suite.

I’m not a serious-financial-planner kinda person.
I’m not a financial person.
I’m an artist.

I’m basically an artist.
I’m doing art.
I love to be free and making art works.
Not selling insurance to people who don’t even know why they buy it.

Every single day I walk on the street,
In this beautiful city with beautiful buildings
I always wish that I wore something casual.

Tank-top and shorts instead this crappy working suite
SLR camera on my hand instead of a handbag with the notebook inside

Even that I already wear my working suite,
people still notice that I’m not a financial planner
This hairdo can’t lie

My hairdo is such a mess; it grows against the gravitation
And I have no interest at all to do anything about that
Or, I mean, this

I don’t like this job, and can’t act like I do.
I just pretend that I like.
But pretending to be one can’t make you the one you pretend to be.

I’m an artist.
I’m silly and spontaneous.
I can’t act serious as a serious-financial-planner.

Some financial people are pretty funny.
But they’re funny in a way they make fun of person like me.

But wait!
The question is 'Why am I doing this?'

If I follow my ego,
I might leave this job and do something more fun.
I might just leave all my responsibilities.
I might just do what I wanna do.

But every time I feel like quiting,
There will always be some great people that remind me
again and again
of the reason, why am I doing this.

I have my own reason.
I believe in what I'm doing.
I believe that I am now doing something good.
I'm doing something to make people's live change.
I help people.
I believe that the information,
this information that I have to share to people everyday
is a very, very important information.

When somebody get some trouble
Financial, health, accident, critical illness
And they need lots amount of money
I probably couldn't help them.

But if I just push my ego away for a while
and use my precious time, just to share this useful information
I wouldn't have to help them when they got into trouble,
because they already help them selves.
By having insurance.

And even if I already told them to have insurance
and they just didn't wanna have it for some silly reasons,
it would not be my responsibility,
because at least I have done my job,
which is just to tell them the precious information.

So this is me, doing this thing that lots of time I don't like to do.
Maybe I hate to wear shirt and skirt.
Maybe I hate to wear women shoes.
Maybe my hair would not compromise.

But me, my self, is the most important thing in this business.
I have the reason to keep doing this.
For love, for people, for their family, then also for me and my family.
