Me: First day back to work. (i said this sarcastically because i never take a day off) (but our Son took me seriously…)

Dad, you don’t have a real job.

Yes i do.

No. You don’t.

The treadmill of life?

Four characteristics for job satisfaction

 

(photo: these four characteristics are self evident, yet rare)

So difficult to imagine staying in a job or career that feels like work.

Was reminded of that yesterday while renewing the Florida Driver’s License.

Eliminate vacation

Welcome to Spring Grove, PA sign

 

(photo: How many people in how many towns… hate their job)

What if instead of dreaming about our next vacation, we lived in such a way that there was nothing to escape from?

Most people secretly hate their jobs.

Most, not all.

But still, most.

Live like you mean it.

Dear Son, every job you ever do will have two components

Disney's Grand Californian Resort Guest laundry
One of the simplest decisions all week.

 

Disney's Grand Californian Resort Guest laundry
Do the mundane with joy and gratitude

 

Be positive and find joy and gratitude in the ‘have-to-do’ parts of your job.

Why?

Because all ‘get-to-do’ parts come with a price.

Be willing to pay it or do something else.

And know the grass ain’t always greener on the other side.

This isn’t rocket surgery.

Dear Son, great review in the car this morning…

Dear Son, so awesome to have you home after your eight-day middle school trip to New York City.

On the list below, the first characteristic we’ve been talking about since you could talk.

The second one has been on the radar for only two weeks (pre-trip conversations).

Three and four introduced in the car going to school this morning.

  1. Honesty
  2. Behave admirably
  3. Self control
  4. Personal responsibility

Three and four deliver one and two.

You are ready for all of them now.

Your life will rise or fall on these.

It is the same for every human.
