Today's Meditation - Price You Pay for Hating What You Do

By Jane Powell - www.MeditationsForWomen.com

"Work is a reward, not a punishment."

If you enjoy your work, you also enjoy what comes with it, such as peace of mind, enjoyment and fulfillment. If you don’t enjoy your work, then days are tedious and each one drags by.

The truth is, you’ll never achieve pure happiness unless you like what you do. Your fulfillment is in direct proportion to the amount of pleasure you derive from daily tasks.

If you truly despise your job, stop punishing yourself and do something about it. The rewards you feel from doing what you want to do are priceless. You only live once and there is no reason I can think of not to enjoy it!

    This is a tough one to swallow in this economy and with being a full-time working mom of two. I work so my kids have security in their lives. It's not worth upheaving the whole family for my own happiness.

    Happiness is not something you "achieve", it just happens. I believe you must place yourself in it's way.
