I think I got it

Dear one,

I think I got it.

Benjamin Franklin's thirteen virtue and mindful meditation both help me.

One teaches me to be positive and do the best I can.
One teaches me to breath, relax and accept as it is.

It is the attitude that counts.

Love

Dad

One of the virtue in Benjamin Franklin list is the industry virtue.
Below are the comments from both Louise Hay and Joel Osteen regarding working hard.



Joel Osteen

Anytime we want to have a change though, especially one that will make our lives better, it requires us to believe that it can happen. We have to make a choice to have hope.

Most of us have found ourselves in a place where we were on the edge of loosing something very precious to seemingly everything.
Whether you’ve lost your job, your mortgage is in risk of foreclosure, your relationships are struggling, or you or a loved one needs healing, I want to encourage you to never give up!
It all begins with a choice; the choice to never give up. God always completes in us what He has started; His good work and good plan. (Phillippians 1:6).

“being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”



Louise Hay

I know that the thoughts in my mind have everything to do with my working conditions, so I consciously choose my thoughts. My thoughts are supportive and positive. I choose prosperity thinking; therefore, I am prosperous. I choose harmonious thoughts; therefore, I work in a harmonious atmosphere. I love getting up in the morning knowing that I have important work to do today. I have challenging work that is deeply fulfilling. My heart glows with pride when I think of the work that I do. I am always employed, always productive. Life is good. And so it is!
When people ask me about my purpose in life, I tell them that my work is my purpose. It is very sad to know that most people hate their jobs and, even worse, that they don’t know what they want to do. Finding your life’s purpose, finding work that you love to do, is loving who you are.

Maybe you are in a job now where you feel stuck, or you hate it, or you find that you are just putting in your time to bring home a paycheck. Well, there are definitely things you can do to make positive changes. The most powerful tool you can use to transform your situation is the power of blessing with love. No matter where you work or how you feel about the place, bless it with love. I mean that literally. Say, “I bless my job with love.” but don’t stop there. Bless with the love the building, the equipment in the building, your desk if you have one, the counter if you work at one, the various machines you may use, the products, the customers, the people you work with, the people you work for, and anything associated with this job. It will work wonders.

If you were raised with the belief that you must “work hard” to earn a living, it is time to let that belief go. Do what you love, and the money will come. Love what you do, and the money will come. You have a right to enjoy earning money. Your responsibility to Life is to participate in enjoyable activities. As you find a way to do something that you enjoy, Life will show you the way to prosperity and abundance. Almost always, that activity is playful and joyful. Our inner guidance never gives us “shoulds.” The purpose of life is to play. When work becomes play, it is fun and rewarding. Remember: You decide what you want your working life to be like. Create positive affirmations to achieve it. Then declare these affirmations often. You can have the working life you want!
