I picked up a blog post today that I thought was worth sharing… about our jobs and how our perception of them can alter our ability to find happiness in a career. Johnplaceonline.com has a great article titled, “Hate Your Job? First, Shatter Your Work Prejudice“, and it details the idea that we have such a negative perception of our jobs that we fail to see the possibilities in making it a meaningful experience.
I have thought a lot about this recently. I have heard phrases such as “Slave, Save and Retire” and I realize that we all see it that way. I often do. But, if I am to work 40 hours a week for the next 25-odd years, than finding a way to destroy the negative attachments I have is crucial to my own peace in life. This is a great article, go check it out.
