One of the love your job quotes from wisdom teacher Jiddu Krishnamurti says,
When you love what you are doing, you are not ambitious, you are not greedy, you are not seeking fame, because that very love of what you are doing is totally sufficient in itself.
– Jiddu Krishnamurti
The more we understand the above quote, the less frequently we will change jobs and avoid getting slowly burnt out from a new job that looked exciting initially.
To find appreciation and satisfaction in a job we need to develop an innate love for what we intend to do.
That innate love is the clarity within that facilitates one right action after the other.
When a beautiful and good job is done from inner understanding it produces deep inner fulfillment along with it.
Appreciation in a job is the by-product of sincere effort and the inner contentment that comes along with it.
What does it mean ‘ Good job well done’?
Working with a mentality that winning or losing doesn’t matter. I will ‘ involve myself’ in the right work with all my heart and keep doing justice to the immediate challenges.
Let us work in a way where we have no mental space to worry or celebrate results. Get drenched with love in the mustness of this moment where life demands us to do the right thing.
Most people generally look for fulfillment in the result of work and never in the ‘ process of doing well’.
Hence end up feeling miserable or feel like giving up when the results are unfavorable or too elated when the results are favorable.
Such a person can never do the ‘ right job’ forever and keep leaving one job over the other as they are always too concerned with the results.
Their minds will be filled with mental heaviness and cynicism, and no work will ever allow them to relax or bring out their best potential.
Hence, they end up inconsistent and distracted with a lack of energy and enthusiasm for the job at hand. And their work efficiency will take a blow.
Let the quote below make us realize the importance of finding a good job, sticking to it, and keep evolving better and better. It says,
A job isn’t just a job. It’s who you are.

As famous American author Ayn Rand powerfully quotes from her best-selling novel ‘ The Fountainhead‘:

– Ayn Rand
