I sometimes feel bored when working, especially if I had a lot of time to stare at the wall. I find myself staring at the wall clock waiting for the time to ran fast.
Elliot stated in her book, that the cause of boredom is the hatred of work. Let's see, yes I feel bored because I don't like the fact of working a less toxic area since it's kinda tiring to wait for your shift to end. Unlike if you're busy with what you are doing, you cannot feel tiredness and the time is fast for you. I guess there's some truth with Elliot's statement there. Don't you agree?
People may have the perception of equating work to obligation. We are obliged to work because we needed to and we are obliged to. Hence, most of us are not satisfied with what we are doing which causes us to feel tired and bored at work. We see ourselves whining about it and here comes the younger ones witnessing our negative attitude towards work. Time will come that they too would feel the same way when they get to work.
Apparently, Elliot reminded us that the Lord in His time did worked also. He served in the carpenter shop of His father Joseph. He was responsible, learned skill and above all, He loved His work and find "the glory of work as a gift to glorify His heavenly Father".
The message she is trying to convey is to learn to like and love our work. Let us recognize God's gracious gift in every single task we make. If we see this, we'll learn true happiness, eventually other people will too. "Fulfillment is not a goal to achieve, but always the by-product of sacrifice".
