Intro

Greetings! In this blog, I hope to share some various thoughts and inspirations on work: Specifically, to take a page from Lewis Richmond's book, how does one make work into a spiritual practice?


Years ago, a good friend and colleague once remarked to me: 'When it comes to jobs, most people are happy with their pay, the work that they do, or the people they work with, but very rarely are they actually happy with all three'. Am I crazy for wanting it all? I'm convinced that it is possible to have the best of all worlds, but maybe I'm just naive...


At any rate, I thought I'd remind myself of some of the most important trends we working folks should be aware of:


Good attitudes are crucial.

Be flexible and adaptable.

Having broad-based skills are very useful, so you can shift between jobs and responsibilities within an organization.

Be able to work in a team-based atmosphere.

Wherever you are working, be able to constantly find ways to save time, save money, improve procedures, improve your performance, or improve the company’s efficiency.


More to come later! Regards,

-L
