I love my job! I look forward to coming to work, engaging with people and continuing on our Vision 2020 journey. Throughout my career I have always looked for jobs that challenge me, take me out of my comfort zone and push me to learn more. That means that every day isn’t always easy, some days are not much fun and sometimes I wonder if what I’m doing makes a difference.
However, those moments are few and far between and here’s why. I find great purpose in what I do. I choose work that allows me to action my values. This means that I do things that are important to me in the service of others; things that allow me to experience joy, satisfaction and to share my gifts. This is what I get to experience at Bethany.
We spend 60% of our lives working. I think that how we feel about our work significantly impacts our quality of life. It is really important to find work that fulfils us and allows us to find meaning. When I enjoy something, I will always put my best effort forward. Finding meaning in what we do means we need to reflect on what gifts we have and how we can share those with those around us.
I love this quote credited to Mark Twain, “The two most important days in life are the day you are born and the day you discover the reason why.” I encourage you to name your gifts, find your purpose and live a truly meaningful life…
As always I welcome your comments.
