Holistic Approach Towards Our Work

Low satisfaction at work place, decreased energy levels and low efficiency is the result of our inability to connect to our work. To me it is more than just the question of ethics. Ethically I should be justifying with my office hours, carry out the given assignments, follow the routine etc. If I am practicing all of these chores then it should be good enough for the organization and also for my professional career.

But I strongly believe if we are able to connect with our work in right sense we can get the impossible breakthrough through our work. By right sense I mean to say that the work should be looked at as a medium for excellence and evolution ultimately. I see lots of trainers use the phrases like 'work with passion', 'you should be passionate towards your work', 'passionate towards your goals'. On the contrary I think that we should try to work without passion because it dies down with time. It becomes disastrous to face work when the passion dries up. We need to understand that we should work for the sake of work; there should be no escapism. Whether to meet our social requirements, personal ambitions, material requirements we shall have to work.


By writing I am reiterating it to myself yes this is the way to go: Work without passion, work because you ought to, work because it is the most vital element in your evolution process.
