Work

Work can definitely bring Joy and it can definitely bring stress and unhappiness too - yet mindset is most important with Work. 

For me from my first job working at McDonalds to then the Keg Restaurant to then my first job out of University, I have always focused on doing my best, bring my strengths to the role, where one of my strengths is about being proactive and showing initiative.  This in itself brings me Joy.

Work defined as “an activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result”.

Work brings Joy at many levels - the Joy of feeling good for doing a good job and working hard, the Joy of using our strengths, the Joy of learning new skills, the Joy of working as part of a team, the Joy of getting to know different people and know ourselves through working with different people, the Joy of having goals and working towards and saving up for our goals too. 

As an Employment Consultant I am blessed that I love my Work and I am blessed that I can help others achieve Work and find Joy in their work.  For all of us we can sometimes find the things that we don’t like, yet we need to have a mindset of positivity so that we look for what does work at our Work - where there is Joy, where we can create Joy in our workplaces.
