One would think that, after centuries of disappointed workaholics, a light would come on! But it does not. The office buildings continue to be filled with people grasping for the wind. They work hard and long, often sacrificing what truly matters, only to eventually face crushing disappointment.
There certainly are benefits to hard work. You can advance in your company, sell more products, earn more money, and climb the corporate ladder. Make no mistake;hard work gets results. The key is what you work hard for.
The land is littered with people who worked enormous amounts of overtime only to be laid off work during a downsizing. Some people spend countless hours building their own company, only to eventually file for bankruptcy. Others work their way to the C Suite only to be forced out by the next CEO. Life can be filled with frustration and disappointment.
That’s why it is crucial that we invest our life in what matters and what cannot be taken away or lost. Those who invest their lives in temporal pursuits will forever be disappointed when they discover it does not last! What part of “temporal” do you not understand?!
