You have to Love the Opportunity

Genre: Work (Personally chosen)





Somebody said you have to love what you do, but that’s not necessarily true. The true is that you have to love the opportunity to do what you do. You can be inspired by having found something even though you are making mistakes in the beginning and even though it is a little distasteful taking on a new discipline that haven’t learned before. You don’t have to love it, you just have to learn to appreciate the opportunity and appreciate the person who brought you the good news that found you. Appreciate that person who believed in you before you believed in yourself. Appreciate the person who said “Hey, if I can do it, you can do it.” If you will embrace the disciplines associated with the new opportunity you will soon find that your self-confidence starts to grow, that you go from being skeptic to being believer. 

So, before you are tempted to give up or get discouraged, remember all success is based on long-term commitment, faith discipline, attitude, and a few stepping stones along the way. You might not like the stone you are on right now, but it's sure to be one of the stone that lead to great opportunities in the future. 

Don't just love your job. Love the opportunity of having a job where you can learn and be productive in. There are literally thousands out there who would be more than willing to take over your job because of deprived opportunity. Cultivate a thankful hear and use your current job as a stepping stone towards something better. And most importantly, seek God for directions and the right timing to do so.

I read a quotation somewhere that said" Life is God's gift to you and what we do with our lives is our gift to God." Let me use that some quotation for work by saying "our work is God's gift to us and how we work is our gift to Him." 

Glorify God through the quality of you work, consider work not just a source of income or venue for self-expression. Treat each working day as an opportunity to glorify God. Your work can be your gift to God if you invest on the building meaningful relationship in the workplace. Build good relationship with your superiors. Don't be discouraged on your work if you have to right in your work because even the process of working towards excellence is already a gift that you can offer to God. Share the gift of salvation to your co-workers. Appreciate this work because it is Gift from God.
A word to unwise is resented. But a word to the wise is sufficient.
