The Company We Keep at Work

What will we become? What do we want to be when we grow up? What job, what career? How will we make money? Will we be successful? Have the courage to follow your heart and your intuition, because they somehow already know what you truly want to become. -- Steve Jobs To gauge our self-awareness with respect to work, we should look at our personal history of work, reflecting on our relationship with work and our attitudes toward earning money. Does our work align with our values? Are we living a divided life? This speaks to the company we keep at work. Do we take our ego-self to work, or our ethical-self? As we do this, we build knowledge of our inner self in order to follow our own path. The true self is the Self planted in us in God's own image that wants nothing more or less for us than to be who we were created to be. -- Thomas Merton
