I hear a lot of poignant phrases as people describe their work. This happens to have come from an attorney just this week. “Loathe” is not your common everyday word. Webster defines it as “to feel intense dislike, disgust, or hatred for; abhor, detest.” Obviously, it’s pretty difficult to put yourself into your work if you “loathe” it. There may be attempts to perform as others expect you to and you may even be able to do the basics and get a paycheck. But you are not likely to experience meaning, purpose, peace or fulfillment in work you “loathe.”Now interestingly enough, the first Webster definition for “work” is this: “bodily or mental effort exerted to do or make something; purposeful activity.” So you may hate your “job” but by definition you aren’t “working” (purposeful activity) if you are doing something you hate. Maybe we can come up with a new word for people who spend their time doing something they hate: e.g. Lifeblotcher, Wasteahololic, Insaniac, shortsighter…… help me out here….

You can recognize you hate your job today, but if you stay there, you will begin to see deterioration in other areas of your life – physically, emotionally, spiritually, and in your relationships. Need a new plan?
