Vivan los lunes! (VIVIR MEJOR EN EL TRABAJO, Band 0)

Adam Smith, author of The Wealth of Nations, once wrote that a person who spends his life performing the same repetitive tasks generally becomes as stupid and ignorant as it is possible for a human creature to become. Wow! Now thats not a pretty picture. Unfortunately, much of our work today consists of those boring, repetitive tasks. But maybe youre one of the many who have gotten caught up in thinking work is just something you do to support your weekends. Work is that necessary evil, a means to an end, or just a curse from God. You probably take your role of providing for yourself and those depending on you seriously. But you dont expect to enjoy your workyou just do what has to be done. Only now youre seeing that even loyalty and dependability bring no guarantees. Lately youve seen coworkers who have been let go after years of faithful service. Perhaps your entire industryhas been shaken by outsourcing or changing technology. Maybe youre tired of the long commute and being tied to your desk when you know you could make your own hours and still be productive. You may have ideas stirring that you think could create new income and time freedom. But here comes another Monday. Maybe feeling trapped is just the reality of the way things are. Doesnt everyone dread Mondays? Doesnt every responsible person just bury their dreams and passions in exchange for getting a paycheck? Absolutely not! All of us, no matter how old we are or what kind of work were doing, can learn to bring the same excitement to our jobs that we bring to whatever we love to do on our days off. I believe that each one of us can pursue work that is a reflection of our best selvesa true fulfillment of our callings.
