"Are you serious all the time?"

Click here to listen to Dr. Joey tell his story!

Do you take your work seriously? I hope you do. I hope you love what you do and do what you love as you make a life, not just a living. I hope your work bursts forth from your passion, something you care deeply about in life. I hope your work is important. And for these reasons and a thousand more, I hope you take your work seriously.

Now let me ask you another question—Do you take yourself seriously? I hope not. I hope you realize that you can’t be right all the time…and that you don’t have to be. God gives you grace and mercy. I hope you see yourself for who you are—a unique, one-of-a-kind, special-to-God individual who’s one in 6 billion who lives on a planet full of others created the same way. God gives you peace so you can live comfortably in your own skin. I hope you laugh at yourself as often as possible, because if you can’t laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?

Today as you listen to life and make a life, not just a living, take your work seriously, but please don’t take yourself so seriously. Enjoy the life God gives you!
