Hey all:
As you can see, I’ve brought back my self-development and motivation posts.
So for today I wanted to share a story that caught my attention.

One day 3 men were working, when a passerby asked what they were doing.
The first man said: “I’m cutting stone.”
The second said “I’m earning a living.”
The third one said: “I’m building a cathedral.”

Did you see any difference?
The 3 men were doing exactly the same. But think, the first man probably didn’t see any point in it. He just did it it anyway. How many times have we said “That’s what all of them do” or “that’s what my father/mother/grandfather/uncle did” about our work?
Now take a look at the second man.
He’s happy because he’s earning a living, he’s focusing on the paycheck. How many people live that way around you?
Now look at the third man.
He’s happy as can be because he knows his stones are going to build a cathedral, a place where people will be able to worship.
I bet you he loves his work and, no matter his personal belief would love to see how the final product looks–for all we know he may already be picturing that cathedral complete every day, as he cuts more stone, he doesn’t think negative, he doesn’t think about his paycheck, he thinks “one more stone closer to the end. I can’t wait to see it!”

Which man shall you be?

Shall you be the first, complaining and negative? The second one, happier but paycheck oriented? Or the third, loving the work you do?

If those 3 men were working for an office, you know which one would get promoted faster?
You know which one feels better about everything?
The third one, obviously.

So, which shall you be?
