A Wholistic Work Ethic

Written on the 8th of February, 2010

Every type of labor and field has a physical, mental, and spiritual component to it. At times the bearings of these three dimensions will have varying effects upon an individual; the weight of which will affect one’s performance. Ultimately, the significance of the spiritual dimension outweighs the other two. If one is not prepared spiritually for their work in life, they will be crushed by even a single atom of burden from the other two. But if the spirit is willing, mental or physical pain and struggle will not impede one. Your entire being has a role to play in your work. The key to unlocking your whole being’s potential contribution is through sincerity. Your sincerity will be a measure of your efficiency and efficacy and sincerity can be improved through honesty. Earnestly assess your abilities and limits; honestly improve upon each of the three dimensions where there is room for improvement. So prepare physically, tune your mind, meditate and reflect over the importance of your spirit’s work in your affairs and prosper in the knowledge that you put your all into your efforts, and work happily, sleep peacefully.
