Getting Back Into The
Groove
After a long
holiday and even a short one, it’s sometimes difficult to get back to the work
that needs to be done.
Today and
every day that follows, I’d like you to think about your deeds a little
differently. According to sociologists---and I happen to one of them, work is a
basic human need. The need to create
something and do something for the good of something is something we all need.
We’ve
learned to see our work as drudgery, a slave, the grind and yet without it,
what would your life be?
Okay, I know
you have this image of one endless weekend, but let’s rethink that picture.
What would you really do with yourself if you had nothing that you had
to do?
Instead of work, I’d like you to
think of purpose; a mission that you are here to accomplish and that it can
only be done through your work.
You may not
have the job you desire, but maybe, just maybe, you are not the employee that your
job needs.
As you go to work today, do so with
gratitude; not only for the paycheck, but for the job itself.
Look for
ways to fulfill your mission and purpose. See your job and its people in a new
light and when you do, you will be seen differently as well.
Get back into the
groove of life and let life’s groove get back into you.
Be you, be well, be
better.
