It is a sense or feeling that we have during the progression towards what we want most in life. Depending on how you were raised, your ideal may be to have the same day all day, every day. Or that each day is a new day and you ought to make the most of it. Moreover, there are no two same individuals and there are many walks of life. So you might as well choose the practical option of having fulfilling employment to make a good living. Because the reality is that real wealth; the kind that lasts, the kind that's worth keeping, requires an extra-ordinary persistence over the course of many years. And the price of any meaningful financial success without inherent rewards is a very heavy burden to carry even for the best of us. For me the finish line of achievement is made bearable by delightful treats along the way of suitable work.
I have found two main camps of thought regarding work ethic: Workers & Thinkers. A clue that I've caught is to be somewhere in between the two. The first is a person of action, a believer in hard labor. When given a task, they are a go to, to get it done. Plainly they lack the ability to think deeply and find it hard to have fun while at work. The second is a person of ambition, who has big big goals. At times they come across as pie in the sky and have the ability to see things others miss and figure out better ways could be done here.. However their track record is likely underwhelming and only concerned with having a good time. When you are just starting out and exploring your options a little ambition and thought goes a long way. But without the former one sets themselves up for failure if the plans don't include the work. I believe finding suitable work is essential to capturing both aspects of working and thinking. 💡 Whether we are shifting our paradigm or transitioning into a new season in life it's all about how we handle the adjustment. It is impressive to see one eagerly seeking the study of philosophy, strategy & finance, combining career and household money matters, immersing oneself into mental practices and daily habits. While the day-to-day person wastes their time seeking pleasure, procrastinating & overthinking, or being too busy to complete anything. So I urge you to learn "how to think," reason, calculate, and use your time most-wisely. I'm sure you have people in your life that show up to the job only for the money, "life is too hard," or flatout just takers. They must've missed the memo on cultivating our calling or mission of being satisfied on the journey to something grander. IYKYK. I trust you will find the same sense of accomplishment I have and more. Many of my peers and counterparts cannot fathom the game I'm playing when they see me at work. Conversely, work can be ever consuming so it's paramount I’ve choosen areas of interest to sustain my enthusiasm. Developing a joyful attitude within a fulfilling vocation has helped me 1) outshine any potential competitor and 2) more importantly sit well with my soul. Truly what we do for work matters and that environment influences how we do said work.
We discover our fullest potential in completing tasks that are suitable to our individual powers and attractions. You are not a tree; you get to decide where you want to thrive. Meaningful work empowers the long expedition of prosperity and wealth creation. But what does that look like? It can be subtle: a feeling of wellbeing, extended gratification, or inner satisfaction in knowing we are reaching what we desire most. This sense indicates whether we are aligned or not with our convictions, inner values, inclinations, knacks, ambitions, and vitally our inner (spirit) voice. In other words when we conduct ourselves in an environment that best suits our unique individuality we feel inherently on point & rewarded. The best direction to take is to keep an open mind & learn what you are and be such. Resolve to know thy self. And know that he who finds himself, loses self-doubt. 🔎 I may be able to guide or share certain methods, modes, or mentalities towards a more prosperous life. I cannot teach you about yourself. At this stage of the game, I fervently believe the key to having a lasting stamina for lifelong wealth is aligning my day-to-day objectives with activity that provides financial excess AND supplies deeper inner meaning in addition to having like minded & like-valued people in my life. I have been tried and "true-ed" along my journey so far to this prosperous life of mine. The moral of this lesson is that it is absurd to love every aspect of your work. Gainful employment will always come with duty even to the extent of occasional woe or dread. I’m come to terms with liking most of what I do. Cherishing and loving what I can of what I do. And to just deal with the parts I can’t stand of what I do.. Over time the stuff that matters will carry you through. It is vital in seeking suitable work to realize there is good, bad, and new. Remember being new at something is just that, new doesn’t equal bad. Having suitable work can only come over the course of time. Know that getting ahead financially requires hard work and sacrifices. Nevertheless having a lasting endurance comes from the enjoyment of suitable work.
