I am so into this new book I received as a gift for Christmas.  I wanted to share with all. 

48 Days To The Work You Love is featured on CBS and ABC Family Channel. 

I have only read 3 chapters so far and am learning so much.  I am taking my time and highlighting the things that catch my attention.  I am so interested I have decided already that I am going to read this book over and over.  As many times as it takes to all sink in.

Today I will share this from the book. 

We are defined and valued in America by what we do.  Unfortunately, the path to doing something often bypasses the basic questions about being something.  For many people, wok has become nothing more than a paycheck.  You could perform as others expect and get a paycheck, but you are not likely to experience meaning, purpose, peace, or fulfillment if you are not enjoying what you are doing.

If work was a punishment for evil, why does the Bible continuously tell us to enjoy our work?  The fruits of a fulfilling life-happiness, confidence, enthusiasm, purpose, and money-are mainly by-products of doing something we enjoy, with excellence, rather than things we can seek directly.  "If you love, absolutely love what you are doing, chances are excellent that you will succeed."

A job should not define who or what you are.  You can leave today and not change the overall purpose of direction of you life.  Your calling is a much larger concept than what you do daily to create income.  Walk away to a more fulfilling and rewarding job.
