THE MEANINGFUL WORK

What is the most meaningful work to me?

There are two sides to it;

Concerning the parable of the man who built his house on the sand versus the one who built his house on the rock.

Two men were building their homes. One on sand, and the other elevated on a rock.

A massive storm swept through, flooding the beach they had built on.

Would you be surprised to find that the man who built his house on the sand lost everything? While the man who built it on the rock sustained it through the storm?

The distinction here is that…

If I were to have everything but lost my soul, the life I will build would be meaningless.

But on the rock, with God as my guide, significantly meaningful.

In this letter today I want to bring focus to the fact that if I were to have everything, what is the life I would be living?

Every little habit that culminates my life, day by day. What would it be? What type of man have I become? What are my thoughts, my mindset?

Hamza made a great distinction, I have thought of in my passing, but really drilled into my brain: Truly what is the ideal life you’d live?

Is it the playboy, rich millionaire, fast car lifestyle that Andrew Tate, Dan Bilzerian, and Luke Belmar advertise to you?

If that is truly the goal, man how long do you think that would be fulfilling?

That in and of itself, as the end goal, won’t be.

No, its the culmination of your day to day habits that makes a day, a life fulfilling.

And especially when you have sought to build not only a relationship, but your life confounded on Christ.

You must truly seek it within yourself to find what it is you find to be a meaningful life. Yourself. On. Your. Own.

Watching these guru’s, online sensations, and rich guys will amount to nothing if you do not work on it yourself because it is your dream. No one can build it for you.

The unfortunate truth that is you must stay committed to a consistent and disciplined life working towards your dream.

This must be the case because otherwise you will find yourself working on someone else’s—whether that be corporate's dream, your boss’s dream, or even your parents dream…

And you will stay the shell of the man you were meant to be.

You either build towards your vision or you will lose it building someone else’s.

My biggest fear is eventually finding myself middle-aged sapped of all the energy, all ambition, because the work I chose, the life I chose does not allow me leeway.
