Today, I could say that work stinks. (Literally. Our building had some septic issues, and the most direct route for pumping it out was through our office. Thankfully, it didn’t get too bad indoors, and it’s over with.)
Normally, that is not my attitude. Today, that wasn’t even my attitude about my job, just the office. I am grateful for a job that generally agrees with me. Sure there are a few tasks that I would rather someone else be in charge of, but I am able to find satisfaction – and yes, even happiness – in the work that I do.
A great deal of what I have been doing lately ties in to my purpose of discovering beauty. In proofreading, I get to chip away the “ugly” parts and let the beauty shine through the words. Now, to just find a little time to dig through the papers that are accumulating on my desk to bring the beauty back there (sigh!).
Do you have a job that you love? Or at least like? If not, what is stopping you from pursuing it?
Just in case, I think I’ll bring some air freshener in to work with me in the morning.
I like some things about my job… particularly when I’m able to really help people, to help them get closer to their goals, to have more LIFE. By doing that, I feel like I’m serving by realizing harmony – which, as you know, is my Purpose.
