Sometimes my approach to work is hurried and even a little careless. Maybe I’m not comfortable with projects that don’t resolve easily and I want to get everything over with as soon as possible. Or maybe it’s about authority figures: I resent or fear my boss, so I rush through my work as a subtle form of control or avoidance.
Whatever the reason, when I approach my work as something to get over with, I miss out on the majority of my day. Even if I can’t spend it the way I really want to, do I not believe that this time is precious? Do I not believe my days and the tasks in front of me are gifts from a Higher Power?
Today I will resist the urge to just get through the day. I will approach my work with gratitude and attentiveness. It may be true that my job is not what I really want for myself. Maybe I do need to seek new opportunities. But I can’t change the future without staying present today.
