No matter what we set out to do, whether it’s building something, teaching, serving in the military, farming, manufacturing, or any other worthwhile cause, our major aim is to be a benefit physically, mentally, and spiritually to the welfare of society. Any other intent is error, an illusion, and will manifest error back to us sooner or later. Those who would toil, for only his or her personal gain, at the expense of society, can expect society to fight back. The jails are filled with such individuals.
No one can rise to the top of their profession if they detest their job and hate every minute of it. Don’t start looking around for a different job or a different vocation. No matter where you go or how far you go, you still take yourself with you. Success is not where you are. Success is who you are. If you’re a janitor then be the best damn janitor in the world. Success will come looking for you.
In my opinion, there are no bad jobs. Jobs are good or bad depending on what you make of it. In fifty years, I must have had twenty different jobs. Some were the typical; just over broke jobs, but every one of them was a stepping-stone to success. I pride myself that I’ve never been fired from a job. I was what you might call enthusiastically discontented. What I didn’t realize was that I could have risen to the top of any of the companies I worked for if only I believed in myself. Some nights, I think of some of those jobs and say to myself, “Gee, if I only knew then what I know now, I probably never would have left. I just never gave myself a chance to succeed.”
You need to change your attitude and your mental outlook to start thinking positive and creative, instead of thinking negatively and with frustration. If you outgrow your job or you’d love to do something else, then you will be ready to move on from that job.
Today’s Exercise: Look around you. How can you do your job better?

Points to Ponder: If you outgrow your job or you’d love to do something else, then you will be ready to move on from that job. No matter where you go or how far you go, you still take yourself with you.
