A large percentage of our lives is spent in some form of work. At times the daily routine of what we do can seem rather mundane and for some actually boring. One of the ways to enhance that time that we spend in our occupations is to give conscious meaning to the work. Some may have the opportunity to contribute significantly to the welfare of others and what they do has obvious community value. In other occupations there may be relevance in the development of beauty,art or some outcome that raises the consciousness of those they serve. I would contend that every work effort has value and meaning because it is attached to some other reality. Some work to raise children or provide the basics that are essential to life.What you do is not isolated from how you touch the world, and somehow must be integrated into the purpose of your life.There is overt and hidden value in the tasks that daily require your efforts ,and ascribing value to that work raises it to the praise it deserves.In essence work is a form of prayer that enables us to realize that our efforts are not insignificant.
