Todays thought from Hazelden is: Let every man be occupied in the highest employment of which he is capable and die conscious that he has done his best--Sidney Smith Doing something that we feel good about never loses its importance to our lives. And it need not be a prestigious occupation for our work to be important. In fact, who are we to decide what kind of job is truly important? The most menial of tasks may have a profound impact on a particular man or woman today, and thats what really counts in Gods grand scheme. It is said by some that the highest order of employment is the offering of love and acceptance to the people on our paths today. For us to define employment solely in terms of career is shortsighted. Every minute were awake were busy with something, and that means were employed. A broader definition of employment gives every one of us a chance to put in a productive day. Knowing that our presence, our words, our willingness to listen to someone else has made life better for them makes it better for us, too. I will go to bed fulfilled if I have shown love and respect for others today. You are reading from the book: Keepers of the Wisdom by Karen Casey
