Doing your job vs doing your work
If you’re not sure of the difference, you’re probably just doing your job.
Perhaps, if you’re fortunate, your job is in sync with your work.
But most of the time, our work is something we have to fight for. It’s not something we’re given, or apply for. It’s what we choose to do.
The change we seek to make, the people we seek to serve, the decisions we insist on being responsible for.
Doing our work is a calling.
Doing our job is an offer to follow someone else’s instructions.
