Why do we need to work? Work is of course to earn money lah, what a dumb question to ask :p But seriously, are we working just to earn money only? Money in the form of cash are objects while money in the bank are figures. If our motivation to work is because of money, it is like saying we are in love with a statue. There is definitely so much more to work than just earning money.
When colleagues become good friends, we earn friendship. When we constantly learn new things as we work, we earn knowledge. With every passing day at work, we earn experience. When we are contributing to a bigger cause in the organisation, we earn self-worth and recognition. When the juniors look up to us for guidance and directions, we earn respect. When our income allows us to fulfill our dreams, do charity work, we earn beautiful memories and a meaningful life.
If we can think beyond working to earn money and find that motivation in things that are close our hearts, then we will be more motivated to go to work. Else, we will be dragging our feet and going through motion. If you can, write in the comments on what motivate you to work, use this to remind yourself what you are working hard for. It will be a good reference for others who may be struggling to find theirs.
If you are reading this on a Monday morning, remind yourself that no one is guaranteed a new day every time and everyday is a gift and blessing. So, make today a good one and always stay positive and happy. Have an awesome week ahead, my dear friends !
