On a hot summer day, a man walks up to a construction site and asks the first
construction worker he sees; what are you building? The construction worker
points at a pile of bricks and mortar and replies: the exterior wall. The man continues walking and goes up to a 2nd construction worker and asks; what are you building? The construction worker points at a stack of wood and answers the truss that supports the roof. The man continues walking and goes up to a 3rd construction worker and asks; what are you building? The construction worker smiles and replies: The house of God.
Every individual needs to discover their Life’s meaning if they wish to live a happy
and fulfilled life. This is usually achieved through an introspection process. Once an
individual realizes what their life’s meaning is, it will completely alter their perspective and priorities and enable them to architect
their life accordingly.
Let’s reflect back on that story for a minute:
All 3 construction workers worked at the same construction site and performed
construction related tasks. The first 2 construction workers viewed their work as a
job, While the third construction worker viewed his work as his life’s purpose.
the sense of fulfillment and satisfaction the 3rd construction worker derived from
his job is very different from that of the first 2 construction workers, as they were
simply performing a service for a pay-check.
In addition, based on his response and attitude, we can determine that aside from
enjoying his job, he was also a man of faith, which was certainly a part of his life’s
meaning which made all the difference with respect to his passion, perseverance,
and the way he executed his job every day.
As the adage goes: “If you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life.”
