Your hard work and commitment to your duties could make you feel devoted to what you do today. While dedication is essential to get things done, you may want to explore what you hope to gain from your hard work and what compels you to be so committed to it. You might feel that you gain validation from others because they recognize how much you put into your work, or you might work just for the sake of doing something useful. Perhaps this would be a good time to reflect upon what motivates you in your life by asking yourself what you are passionate about. Maybe you can focus on your heart center, think about different aspects of your work, and see what images or feelings come to you. It could be an increase in your heartbeat or a warm feeling extending from your heart to your toes. Doing so may give you insight into what excites you about your work.

Knowing what we are passionate about gives our work meaning. Working hard is something we do for many different reasons, not all of them positive. When we work without passion, it makes us feel empty since our hard work can sometimes go unappreciated by others. Having passion for what we do, however, means that we do our work for ourselves. Passion fuels our desires and interests and gives what we do greater value as a result. Identify your passion today, and your dedication to your work will have deeper significance for you.
