Our reading for March 14th from "A Counselor's Daily Guide to Success"..."Strive to do a good job".
Work ethic is defined as:
"noun
a belief in the moral benefit and importance of work and its inherent ability to strengthen character.
... Origin:
1950–55" (Merriam/Webster)
Work enters our lives in a variety of forms: homework, housework, employment, vocation, avocation, fun work.
Having a strong belief in how each of these types of work benefits our daily lives in building character and self-worth also builds personal success.
Although we seldom get kudos for the job we do, knowing ourselves we are dedicated and "worth it" many times has to satisfy our need for affirmation. In the world of today there seems to be less and less affirmation from others, thus affirming ourselves is a must.
When we do a good job at whatever the task we feel not only ourselves but others gain from it. Being the best educator we can be, being the best crew member at a restaurant, being the best carpenter on a work site, being the best laborer in industry; no matter our role in the world of work, striving to do our best builds a better society overall.
Pat yourself on the back for the work you do. Affirm yourself for being committed to the job you do. Personal success comes naturally when we strive to do the best we can.
Keep looking up. : ) AJ
