Stupid Work

Steve Jobs once told me, “Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.”

Planning

Successful individuals don’t go haphazardly into the weekend. They plan their day out just as they would any other. It might be a little more loosely-scheduled than a typical Tuesday, but with only so many hours in a week, successful people know they have to use all the free time they can get to accomplish the errands and tasks they need to accomplish. Without a plan, you’ll end up watching “just one more episode” of sitcom reruns before you realize it’s already 4 p.m. on Sunday.

Measures of Success

"Success is not measured by what you do compared to what others do. It is measured by what you do with the ability God gave you."

Zig Ziglar -American author, salesman, and motivational speaker (1926-2012)

Success is learning to use the gifts you never knew you had until you communicate with the Creator. Success is also allowing His Will to grow you through your weaknesses as well as your strengths for the good of others. Comparing yourself with others only serves to divert your attention down unfulfilling paths of discontent. You are uniquely created. Have the courage to measure your success as you live according to whom you were created to be. . . A unique, loving human being.

My Job

"If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well."

Martin Luther King, Jr. Minister - civil rights activist (1929-1968)

Not many workers sense that they have a calling for their particular job. However, think how wonderful it would be to do business with an organization in which every worker considered their job to be one in which they were called or designed to perform. In other words, their job mattered and they mattered in that job to the level that they performed above and beyond what was expected. Experiment for one week to work above and beyond (not more hours) as if you were called or designed just for your current job.

Greatness in Others

"One of the marks of true greatness is the ability to develop greatness in others."

J.C. Macauley - Author

Have you ever observed the manner in which someone imparts their knowledge to another? Do they take great care in communicating, breaking down into small steps, teaching with enthusiasm and making that person feel important? Do they convey a strong belief and faith in the student's abilities? Greatness in one begets greatness in others. How beautiful to live ones life by instilling worth and value in another human being to the point that it brings out the greatness in the receiving person.

Letting Go is not always the easiest mental action to take, but it may be the one action -thought that saves your marriages  finances, family, friends and career.
