Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.” — Theodore Roosevelt
I found Meaning in life at the same time I found meaning with my Work!
Our society today is overrun with people who are frustrated, discontent, and depressed about their work.
There is NO WAY to Find Meaning in your life if you hate doing what you are doing!
Your life will be OUT of balance if your work is something you don’t look forward to doing.
Once I fell in love with my Job, my life fell into place. I found Peace and Meaning!
You are what you do. If you do boring, stupid, monotonous work, chances are you’ll end up boring, stupid, and monotonous. – Bob Black
I am sure you heard the saying, “You become what you eat.”
We can say the same thing about work: You become what you think/feel about work!
According to Gallop studies, 70% of people think/feel work is frustrating, depressing, and unfulfilling.
No wonder most people have NOT found Meaning in their Life.
“Hard work is painful when life is devoid of purpose. But when you live for something greater than yourself and the gratification of your own ego, then hard work becomes a labor of love.” ~ Steve Pavlina
Can you imagine marrying someone you hate and having to live with that person every day for the rest of your life!
Therefore, people fantasize about retirement, vacations, weekends, and Holidays.
They are trying to ESCAPE their current life that has NO MEANING!
Your work is to discover your work and then with all your heart to give yourself to it. Buddha
One of the most important quests you have in life is to discover your Purpose/Passion.
This discovery comes when you give yourself completely over to your work the same way you do to your spouse or loved ones.
Find someone who is head over heels in love with what they are doing.
Passion must be Caught, NOT Taught!
“If you love your work, you’ll be out there every day trying to do it the best you possibly can, and pretty soon everybody around will catch the passion from you – like a fever.” ~ Sam Walton
To find Meaning and Balance in your life, you must Love each area of your life.
Any area that you hate in life is like having a flat tire on your car. Yes, you still have 3 good ones, but the quality of your ride is dependent on all tires being in balance.
If you are one of the many people who do not like your work, then you are trying to drive your life on a Flat tire!
You might make it to your destination, but it’s going to be a long and painful drive/life.
Find Your Passion…Find Your Life!
