I had mentioned in my previous post that there are two choices:
One, do what you enjoy
or
Two, enjoy what you do.
If we observe closely, we notice that the word 'enjoy' is used in both statements. The only place where there can be some difference is the nature of work.
Given a choice, all of us would like to be associated with that kind of work which we enjoy to do. However, this is a possibility available to a very small minority of population. In majority of cases, people are in the second category. It means that they are doing work which they do not really enjoy to do.
It continues and their productivity keeps coming down, there is disengagement from the organisation and ultimately, the organisation pays the price.
However, there is a ray of hope for such people also. To lead a meaningful and purposeful life, they must start discovering sources of joy in their existing work. How it uses one's potential, how it supports one's life, how it is useful to many others, how it is a significant part of a larger whole.
Deliberation on such questions opens the channel of thought which leads to finding a meaning in one's work. When there is meaning in the work, there is a feeling of joy and when there is a feeling of joy there is growth.
Getting hooked to one of the two choices mentioned in the beginning plays a major role in coming in harmony with the present. It is very significant because unless there is harmony in the present, how can one look forward to a better future.
Have a lovely today and beautiful tomorrow.
Wishing you love and life,
Vikram
