Its time to think about resolutions related to work! Anyone having a keen interest in the value and importance of work will by now have read everything and anything related to how to make work life more rewarding. My resolution is to do just that and make work a valued and appreciated part of my life. It’s a big part of our days and we need to give it meaning.

Mentally find 3 things that you don’t like about what you do now, 3 problems. Write them down in one column. Now make a column beside that one and write down the opposite of that word or problem. You have just given yourself three goals for the year. They are your work resolutions. In 2008 resolve to strive for what you want to accomplish.

Share your goals with us and let our community help realize those goals.

When I was a kid for Christmas I got an ant farm, it was really just two pieces of plastic with earth in between. After excitedly setting it up, I had to wait until spring to find live ants to see what would happen. I learned about work, dedication, cooperation, persistence, innate knowledge and using all you’ve got to make your part of the universe the best it can be.

Those ants focused on the present, they lived for that moment and obviously for their needs and the needs of those around them.

We are not too different. Look back at your 3 goals, note them, remember them and stay focused on those 3 words, those 3 opposites of your present problems. Your year will change. Your life will change not because you have made a resolution but because your actions and your work will become what it needs to be to reach those goals. Work is action. The ants taught me that!

WhyDoWork.com wishes you success in all your endeavors whether it is caring in the moment with all you’ve got for that child in front of you or whether its building something or tearing down what you’ve started and going at it again. What ever your work, know why you do it, what it gives you and what you give it and then get going on your goals. It’s all about action in the present.
From all of us best wishes for a happy, healthy, prosperous new year!
