“Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were
working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will
give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are
serving is Christ. —Colossians 3:23-24
Today I work in an environment
where I feel free, comfortable, encouraged, capable, interested and expected.
In my previous jobs I cannot say I felt these things. At my last Job there was so
much tension with/and unrealistic expectations and the job before that one, I
worked so hard and got very little pay. I know that those jobs prepared me for
the job I have today, they helped mold the woman that I am today.
When I look back I remember that I
may have complained now and then but I always had a good attitude towards my
work and I know I gave it a good effort. Sometimes it may not have been my best
work, effort or assertiveness but I did put in an effort. I always kept an open
mind, took very little personally and made sure I was learning. I took criticism
as constructively as possible and used that to help me improve and grow.
Today I still make mistakes, I am
still learning, still growing and still improving. If I had the above bible
verse back when I struggled with my jobs I think it would have been easier. I
thank God for where I am today and the path that I am on to become the woman he
wants me to be tomorrow. Working for and
with other people is never easy but having a good attitude towards your work
and your environments helps a lot.
