Thank God its Monday! Why do you work?



No it’s not a trick question, why do you leave the comfort of your home daily working with people you dislike and for causes you don’t believe in? Most of us have never deeply considered that question. We assume we MUST work, for without work we may be unable to afford our current lifestyle- the house, cars, vacations, loans, etc.

However, this is simply not true! There was a time when you existed without all the THINGS you now have and you were still human and alive! Indeed, for some, you were actually a better person then!
What’s my point? Your job is a choice! Thankfully slavery has been abolished and no one is permitted to employ you without your consent. You chose to work in that office, with those people, for those hours and for that salary. Irrespective of the many excuses you may have previously told yourself aka- there are no jobs anywhere, ‘they’ won’t promote me, I need a masters to have chance, ‘they’ are unfair to me...

The facts remain that, there a people with fewer opportunities than you have had who are doing far better than you LEGITIMATELY! So you can do, be and have better! If that’s not happening it’s your fault, take responsibility. Stop blaming everyone else but yourself! Do something constructive about it or be quiet!

Studies show that persons with strong affinity (love, concern) for the persons they work with and for the causes they work are happier, achieve more and live longer! Money is too small a reason to work! Search your heart deeply today and if there is no congruence between your organizations’s values, the persons you work with and you, start making CONCRETE plans to leave. You have a choice you know?


Have a great week, you deserve it!
