I LOVE MY JOB!

I wonder how many of us could honestly say, "I love my job" and enjoy going to work. I've have heard several state that "the way" to know you love what you do is to "envision that it is Sunday night and you are looking forward to going to work tomorrow."

There are times I wonder if that is the case for everyone. I must first "preface" that with the fact that I believe ALL work is important and that it is crucial for everyone to "work to earn their keep." But, I still can't help but ponder the dreams of others and the aspirations they may have had in their earlier life given the work they do now.

I sometimes wonder if the people doing certain jobs ever said as a young person, "when I grow up, I want to stock shelves at Walmart!" Did anyone ever dream that "when I grow up, I want to work at McDonald's." I wondered if they had dreams of being in the Military, becoming a Lawyer, or owner of their own business. But, regardless of what "it" is that they do, is it something they enjoy doing?

I came across a statement from one of my favorite actors, Morgan Freeman, when asked if he thought about retiring from acting. He said, "No! What good is that? You want to retire from a job you’re not that all enamoured with. I love what I do. I want to keep doing it till I can’t get out of bed doing it."

It is my prayer that we are all gainfully employed doing our best and enjoying what we do each day. It honestly doesn't matter what the job is at hand as long as we approach it with a grateful heart, a good attitude, and the best effort we can afford. Maybe even adopt the mindset of Mr. Freeman that the job you have is something you'd like to do "till I can't get out of bed doing it!"

Although I enjoy the weekends as much as anyone else, I am thankful that I CAN get up each Monday morning and approach the week with a thankful heart that I can be productive in this world "doing what it is that I do." Yes, I LOVE MY JOB!!
