“THINKABOUTIT” THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Monday; March 31, 2008

 

          Which is more important, doing what we love or loving what we do?   These two phrases may sound similar; but, there is a vast philosophical and practical difference between them.  Doing what we love implies the ability to choose our circumstances and pursing things that satisfy us.    While doing what we love is fun and can be rewarding, loving what we do is one of the most practical qualities any of us can have.  Life does not always allow us to choose our circumstances; nor put us a position to dictate our own terms; then what?  If we have the ability to find satisfaction in whatever we do by acknowledging our emotions, then framing them within a context of contentment, we can be successful no matter what life throws at us.

          Let’s enjoy pursuing our favorite things; but, when we can’t do them, let’s make the most out of whatever we get to do.   It may not be our first choice; but, choosing the right attitude is the first step in our journey towards contentment.

          Think about it!  For the Madison Avenue Church of Christ; this is Charlie Wharton.
