"What does your work seem like?"

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

I remember talking with our older daughter when she was in her first year of college. She was telling me about everything—her new friends, the school’s traditions, her role in the play—except her classes. So since I’m her Daddy and it’s my job to ask, I said, "Well tell me how your school work is going?"

And she said, "Daddy, the thing is, I’m enjoying my classes so much and love what I’m doing in them, that they don’t seem like work!"

You’ve got to love that attitude! When you love what you’re doing, it doesn’t seem like work! She reminds me of that saying: "Do you what love and love what you do and you’ll never work another day in your life."

Now contrast her attitude with that of the average American worker. Every survey I’ve ever read finds that well over half of all American workers are dissatisfied with their jobs, i.e., they’re not doing what they love.

Life is way too short to be miserable about your work. I mean, it’s already 2009! Discover what God created you to do—the work you love—by listening to your life and making a life, not just a living.
