“The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle.” – Steve Jobs
In today’s dynamic & disruptive work environment, finding Joy can feel like discovering a rare gem.
As work evolves rapidly, finding meaning & fulfillment in what we do becomes essential. Contentment at work enhances PRODUCTIVITY & CREATIVITY, it also contributes significantly to our overall WELL-BEING.
How can you tell if you’re not finding JOY in your work? Ask yourself:
👉 Do I feel excited to start my workday?
👉 Am I motivated by my tasks?
👉 Do I find fulfillment in my accomplishments?
If you answered “NO” to these questions, it’s time to reevaluate your approach to work.
📄 🔎A study highlighted in HBR found that AUTONOMY, INFLUENCE & a sense of PURPOSE correlate with reduced stress & fewer work-related illnesses, irrespective of work hours. The study also indicated that supervisors fare better than those they supervise while entrepreneurs tend to experience the highest levels of well-being among all groups.
