Is there such a thing as "Joy of Work"?
I think there is. Kahlil Gibran in his book "The Prophet" writes:
"You work that you may keep pace with the earth and the soul of the earth.
For to be idle is to become a stranger unto the seasons,
and to step out of life's procession, that marches in majesty and proud submission towards the infinite.
When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music.
Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison?"
Yes, work is not easy. But it should be done with the joy of giving for you are giving of yourself. You are giving the few hours you have of your life remaining as you walk this earth.
So give the best you can to work. Look back on this journey knowing what you gave today was valuable and that you gave willingly to help the world become a better place.
