Wouldn't it be wonderful to actually love your job...that each of us would get out of bed each day two hours before our alarm clock started buzzing because we couldn't wait to get into our car and be on our way to work?
For most of us reading this...
...this is FAR from the truth.
You're probably the one who stays up late trying to catch up with things around the home with the hope to get to bed at a reasonable time so you can get up in the morning slamming the snooze button while thinking to yourself,
"please, just five more minutes!"
"Going to work just seems to get in the way."
"It seems like a waste of time...exchanging my time for a few dollars."
Well, whether we like our jobs or not, the fact is we're at where we're at with having to work. Since this is true, why not do our best at whatever it is that we're required to do until another job opportunity comes our way?
What if you're at where you're at for a reason that's more than just a paycheck?
Maybe you're the one that will help that co-worker of yours get through his/her time of depression. Maybe you're the one that will make a positive life changing difference in a life of a customer. Maybe God put you there for one particular reason, because He knew that only YOU could make that difference for that one individual.
God knew that you would be there. God knew He could count on you. He could count on your smile. Your personality. Your particular knowledge on a particular topic is what was needed and God wanted you to be there.
Maybe we should look a little harder at our work surroundings, or even listen a little longer to that one employee that you believe "talks to much"... we just may find out why we're at where we're at. We may have one specific purpose or assignment to accomplish besides making a few dollars an hour.
With this type of mindset for our work places our attitudes will change toward a more positive and purposeful one.
How do you begin?
Pray for guidance. Pray for wisdom. Pray for clear focus of why you're working at the place you're at. After you pray, look, listen and feel you're way around your workspace and learn the why of where you're at.
