For better or worse, I’ve always been a bit career-obsessed, and I’m definitely a workaholic. I’m driven by a desire to a) find my purpose in life, and b) love my job. If I’m going to spend 60–70 hours a week doing something, I want it to be challenging, inspiring, and fulfilling. But this recent article in Forbes made me look at work in a whole new light. Imagine what would happen if we all went to work with a smile, if we all used our unique talents (y’all have them in spades!) no matter what our station in life. The positive energy would reverberate around the globe and benefit humanity on profound level. Of course that’s so much easier said than done. Work is sometimes just work, a means to an end, a way to pay the mortgage. But I’m resolving to bring a positive attitude and service mindset to everything I do. Let’s start a work revolution!
