“We both clocked in on time every day; what makes Josh the winner of the employee of the month award”?
“The award has nothing to do with clocking in on time; You see, Schlepping to work is one thing. Loving your work is worth an award.”
It’s not only about getting it done. It’s about connecting with what we do.
When we connect, there are no barriers; whether it’s climbing a mountain, or crossing an ocean, we will get it done.
When we connect, we invest ourselves; we don’t get tired and we feel a part of it.
When we connect, we transform a task into an experience!
We can’t connect with something that isn’t essentially a part of us.
Connecting is digging deep into our soul, and unleashing the powerful unstoppable drive we all have.
Of course, our connection varies in its intensity, just as in any relationship. Yet, the connection is always there.
Next time you come across a Mitzvah and feel it’s tiring or boring, start connecting with it. You’ve got that drive for a Mitzvah within you; connect with your inner self and experience it!
Shabbat Shalom
