Value Work We need to value the simple task of life and the work we do professionally to earn income, fulfill purpose, and bring our gifts to the world. There are many tasks to be done in life - our personal responsibilities to others, our professional commitments, our responsibilities to ourselves. There is value and honor in work, in performing the tasks that make up our daily lives. When we joyfully performed the task of life - whether we are taking care of ourselves who fulfilling a commitment to another - we connect with the very rhythms and workings of life and the universe. Many important spiritual lessons are connected with work. It's better not to use work as an escape, a way to avoid life. But work done with an attitude of honor, love, and joy can be a tool on our spiritual path. Work can take us into the rhythm of life. Work can bring us back to service, back to our hearts, back to our souls. We don't have to leave ourselves behind when we do the tasks of life. We can take all we've learned into our work; then learn more lessons from the task we do. Remember to honour and value the work and the tasks that are yours to do - from the smallest to the grandest. Wash the dishes, fold the laundry, hold a business meeting, rake the yard. Each task is important. Value work. Let it connect you to the rhythms of life. Melody Beattie (1948 - ) Journey To The Heart 📖
