Why Do It?
Sometimes there are things we have to do that we don’t want to do. Work can be that, but it can be more palatable when it has meaning.
Work without meaning can be a miserable way to live.
There are seasons in our lives when we are in a job to get to the other side towards meaningful work.
But, hopefully, that is a transitory situation, hopefully not long term.
There will be dry spells, of course, and there will be times we need to reassess where we are and what we are doing.
But, when we live intentionally and when we work intentionally, the payoff comes.
Work’s Purpose
Tying your paycheck to the larger purpose you envision can take some of the sting out of a bad day.
Envisioning the larger purpose for your paycheck allows you to live below your means.
It also means you have money to apply to your financial goals.
Work can be a struggle at times, but envisioning it’s purpose can help you keep the long view on a bad day.
Regrets
I have yet to meet anyone that regretted living below their means.
But I have met many people who regretted living beyond their means.
