Business, Work & Money
When you equate your self-worth with your bank account, the result is anxiety. But when you equate money with divine gifts, the result is an invaluable blessing.
Have you transformed your job into meaningful work? The majority of our energy is spent on something that most of us abhor – work! There is nothing as depressing as a rainy Monday morning, when you know you are going to spend the next ten hours in a cubicle. So why do we do it? Why do we work? To make money, of course. But what is it about money that makes our hearts go ka-ching? Is it really worth distilling all that blood, sweat and tears into a few crisp dollar bills? The answer is an emphatic yes! You can transcend the monotony and enjoy meaningful work!
