Dear Readers,

Blessing of work

Everyone has a different attitude towards work.

To some it is a burden.

To others it is a duty

Some may perceive it as a service

And some as a learning opportunity.

But with the right attitude work becomes a blessing

We may be sales people or production professionals or even a part of the cleaning staff; what work we do is immaterial but with the right attitude it becomes a blessing

Realizing that-

-Work helps us build our personality
-Work teaches us about the reality of life- Its highs and lows and how to handle success and failure
-Work is an opportunity to give back to the world what it has given us
-Work teaches us discipline
-Work teaches us to take efforts

The list is endless

Let’s embrace work with open arms and be thankful that we have the opportunity to work.

Just a thought…Work as a Blessing!

“You will definitely enjoy what you’ve worked hard for - you’ll be happy; and things will go well for you.”

I recently chanced upon a conversation between 2 adults wherein one asked, “What is your dream job ?” only to have the other person retort “Why would I dream about labouring?” Apparently it was a witty response, yet it got me thinking about work and more so about its synonymous interpretation as ‘pain’. Today, many have forgotten the value of work. Some falsely believe that the highest goal in life is to achieve a condition in which one no longer needs to work. Simply put, work means we have something to do and that we have the physical and mental abilities to do it .Some view work as a necessary evil, and consider it a moral right to constantly complain about it. Work is work and it’s not always going to be fun. Work is not a matter of economic need alone; it is a spiritual necessity because it accords us the opportunity to develop ourselves and progress further on a daily basis. To work honestly and productively brings contentment and a sense of self-worth. Learning to be self-reliant, providing for our own needs and those of our loved ones, contributing to the community by helping others are not only gifts but the foundation of character building. Working hard makes one feel good and there is true pride in knowing that we’ve made a difference. Work offers us the canvass to build bonds with co-workers bringing in a sense of family and establishing friendships that many a times are everlasting.

At work there may be problems that are outside of one’s control such as having un-cooperative colleagues, a lack of work-life balance, unfair working conditions, overbearing bosses, long hours or constant travel. Yet these very pain points prepare us to deal with situations and if not anything else, become wiser and appreciative of what we have when compared to those who have no work. Situations that push us out of our comfort zone make us think like active problem-solvers, thereby allowing us to feel more in control and highly optimistic about altering negative situations. The world has always been in a state of change and the only thing that differentiates one period of time from the other is the rate of change. Job losses due to the substantial layoffs in nearly all industries and the looming uncertainty due to the surge of Artificial Intelligence have shaken up the world that is just about recovering from the ravages of COVID 19. When the tide of opportunity seems to be ebbing what can one do to maintain the equilibrium? For years it has been proved that cultivating an attitude of gratitude is beneficial for mental and physical health. “Make a list of all the reasons you are grateful for your job—whether it’s money, experience, friends, or even the free coffee,” suggests Lori Scherwin, founder of career coaching firm, Strategize That . Focus on what you enjoy and that is what you will see and appreciate. Find success in every failure and a lesson in every setback; it helps keep you moving. We need to remember that our work has significance no matter what job we have and the only way to remain relevant is to learn to love learning.

“Let us realize that the privilege to work is a gift, that power to work is a blessing, that love of work is success.”
