What are you called to give?
Sherry Connolly is the founder of The Centre for Spirituality at Work. In a marketing manager encourages spirituality at work, Sherry Connolly’s thoughts on spirituality at work are explored.
“Are you a receptionist, or are you a welcomer?” Connolly asks. “Are you a financial advisor, or are you helping people toward financial self-sufficiency? Are you laying bricks, or are you helping create a home? To bring spirituality to the workplace is to reflect on what we’re being called to give.”
This article realy seems to elucidate the importance of figuring out how to align our work with a higher calling. Is work about the details? Or is there a larger purpose to our work?
People who are satisfied and happy with their work lives can make a connection between the daily details (the emails, the phone calls, the letter writing) and the larger purpose (helping kids, building a house, making people financially self-sufficient).
Are you making a larger connection between the details in your work life and your purpose in life?
