Job, Career, or Calling?

How’s your MOST DEMANDING relationship doing?

Work is the most demanding relationship we will ever have.
Why? Because it takes more time than anything in our lives!
Tons of time and efforts go into it every day.
With such a huge investment, it’s important to know what type of relationship we have with work and how it’s shaping our lives.

 

What TYPE OF RELATIONSHIP do you have with work?

WORK as a JOB

Is your work just a MEANS TO AN END?

Do you do your work because you want to or because you have to?

The job provides only the financial resources so you can enjoy life outside work. If you were rich or had other financial stability, you would be doing something else.
The motivation to work as a job is the external rewards to fulfill BASIC NEEDS:
food, water, shelter, safety, etc.
The question is: “WHAT CAN THE WORK DO FOR ME?

 

WORK as a CAREER

Is your work as a LADDER TO A BETTER LIFE?

You may enjoy work as a career, but the focus is really the promotion and higher level job for all the rewards it may bring you, like better status, salary, self esteem.
The motivation to work as a career is the external rewards to fulfill PSYCHOLOGICAL NEEDS:
prestige, feeling of accomplishment, intimate relationships, friends, etc.
The question is: “WHAT CAN THE WORK GIVE ME?”

 

WORK as a CALLING

Is your work THE END IN ITSELF?

When you work as a calling, the work itself is the most important part of your life. You don’t do it for the reward. You do it for the contribution it makes to the world as part of your personal mission.

The motivation to work as a calling is internal rewards for SELF-FULFILLMENT NEEDS:
to leave a legacy, to achieve full potential, etc.
It is the PLEASURE TO DO THE WORK.

You love it and you would be upset if you couldn’t do it anymore!
Any reward (money, status, etc) coming from the work as a calling is just an extra bonus of doing what you love.
The question here is : “WHAT CAN I GIVE TO WORK?”
