"Are you satisfied at work?"

Most surveys of American workers that I’ve seen find a high percentage of them are dissatisfied at work. And now a British study suggests that such dissatisfaction increases your risk of heart disease or diabetes. Men are nearly twice as likely to develop the diseases and women five times more likely when sufficiently dissatisfied with their work.

Even though you may try to leave work at work, it apparently goes home with you and to the golf course and the grocery store and everywhere else. You just can’t compartmentalize life into professional and personal. You are a human being, not a human doing, a machine.

So do what you can to find satisfaction in life. That’s different for all of us, but it means asking God what your purpose is in life, why you’re here, and what you were created to be and do. When you start living out of your creative design, your satisfaction increases, you avoid diseases, and you’re listening to life and making a life, not just a living!
