Make a Game of Your Job and Then Play

Did you wake up this morning excited because you get to go to work? Do you passionately love the work you do? Do you find it easy to make a game of your job and then play?

If you do then you know how I feel. You also know that having work that you love with passion is more valuable than gold. It is infectious, this enthusiasm that I feel and it has already helped dozens of people change their lives for the better.

I’m not saying that every day is pleasure. The work I do is hard and it takes a great deal of my energy and creativity to be good at it. It is the passion that I feel for the work I do that helps me stick to it when it is hard and the results are not apparent.

I spent today in serious conversation with people who are changing their lives. They come to me with all kinds of backgrounds. Most of them are very accomplished at the level they are; computer systems specialist, office manager, emergency medical technician and business student.

They come from diverse backgrounds. Men and women, black and white, young and mature. Some were born in other countries, some in other states. Some are native Northwesterners. What they have in common is temporary unemployment and dissatisfaction with the state of their career.

They have two more things in common: 1). they are not willing to keep getting what they have always got; and, 2). they are going to do something about it. Statistically I expect that one of them will enroll and start class with the next cycle. One will choose something different. One will come back to me at a later time and there is a fifty percent chance that they will enroll at that time. One will choose to do nothing and be in the same situation a year or two from now.

My constant prayer is for the very best possible outcome from every interaction that I have. Today God answered my prayers. If you don’t feel this way about your job and you have any interest in working with computers, let’s meet for an hour. It might change your life.
