WORK
WORK Years ago, I memorized a French poem and the first line was: Le travail est un tresor. In plain English, it reads: Work is a treasure.
Work is a treasure since it gives us purpose and meaning while giving us money to pay the bills.
To make us happy, the type of work we do has to be fulfilling and if possible, harmonious with our co-workers.
Sometimes discovering our pearl means finding new employment, but if work is scarce, it is always wise to find a new job first before resigning from the former one.
In all work challenges, it is good to listen to the Voice of Wisdom to help us cope with our present situation and to take a decision.
May we find our treasure or create one.
LET THE BEAUTY OF WHAT YOU LOVE BE WHAT YOU DO. Rumi
FIND YOUR PURPOSE AND GIVE YOUR WHOLE HEART AND SOUL TO IT. Buddha
THE OUTWARD WORK WILL NEVER BE PUNY IF THE INNER WORK IS GREAT. Meister Eckhart
I SAW THAT THERE IS NOTHING BETTER FOR A PERSON THAN TO ENJOY THEIR WORK, BECAUSE THAT IS THEIR LOT. Eccl 3:22
LORD, GIVE SUCCESS TO THE WORK OF OUR HANDS. Ps 90
WORK DONE IN THE SPIRIT OF SERVICE IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF WORSHIP. Baha'i faith
FOR THOSE WITH A JOB THAT ENABLES A RESPONSE TO THE CALL, THEIR LIVES ARE WHOLE. J. Chittister from her book FOLLOWING THE PATH, 2012.
KEEP INTERESTED IN YOUR OWN CAREER, HOWEVER HUMBLE;
IT IS A REAL POSSESSION IN THE CHANGING FORTUNES OF TIME.
Words from DESIDERATA

by Matthew B. Crawford, a philosopher/mechanic who makes the case for working with one's hands.
