WORK: something made greater by ourselves and in turn that makes us greater.
Is my field of endeavor basically honest, meaningful, and helpful to myself and others - or at the very least harmless? Is it emotionally fulfilling: financially, psychologically, and socially rewarding; engaging, creatively satisfying, and bringing the best out of me through utilizing and further developing my own unique combination of special gifts, talents, experiences, and interests? Or am I hiding the truth from myself? These are excerpts from a book called "Awakening the Buddha Within." Not that I am a practicing buddhist or anything, but I like this way of thinking about work. If work occupies 40 hours a week or more, it really shouldn't be something we dread. In fact, it should be something enriching. Here's to seeing everyone I know realize this dream <3
