Work In The Name of Love

We've all heard the wishful sentiment uttered by well-intentioned thinkers: "Do what you love, and love what you do." While that's a great suggestion, and for sure would be nice - the reality is, that's probably going to be a stretch, for the most of us.

For the most of us, it's more like "Do what you can, and accept what you do." Because after all, a job and its pay checks are more often than not, the biggest priority. More to the point, it's hard to love anything, let alone live - if we don't make money. 

Now, before we think work's gotta be all dreary and sad and oh-woe-is-me even if the job isn't what we love, let alone ideal ... think again. It can be. Especially if we have the right perspective, attitude and gratitude. Sure, it can be hard to whistle while we work.  And no doubt, some jobs just aren't fun.  But throughout it all, remember that from our work, we get paid.  And with our pay, we are able to provide for ourselves and our family. And family, is where love calls home.

So maybe the saying does work, if you think about: We can love what we do, and do what we love - assuming love "in the name of" is the reason - and the by product - of what we do.  Get it? 

Working In The Name Of Love Is Good.
