What do you do just for the joy of it? When was the last time you did something just for the joy of it? It is one of the things I admire in people. Many of the people I admire do much of what they do just for the joy of it. There are things they do because they are obligated to, and things they do because they promised they would, and there are things they do simply because they are the right things to do. But they have more of these other things in their lives, more of the things they do just for the joy of it.
If you look a little closer, you will discover something fascinating. For the most part, they do the same things that everyone else does, but they approach them very differently. They may work as hard as the next person, but they don’t do it just to make money or because they have to, they have found a way to work joyfully. They don’t focus on getting it finished so they can do something else. They focus on enjoying what they are doing and doing it well.
What can you do today just for the joy of it?
