“When nature has work to be done, she creates a genius to do it.”
“Nature arms each man with some faculty which enables him to do easily some feat impossible to any other.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
It is no news that there are a lot of people looking for work. Even the people with jobs, are unfulfilled or frustrated with their work. Wouldn’t now be a great time to find the work that was only meant for you?
Imagine…
In all of the universe, there ar no two sould that are alike. There are no two with the same work to do. There are no two whose talents are rivals, or whose gifts conflict or interfere with each other. Imagine how these thoughts ought to put an end, once and for all, to the envy of another’s life.
Ask yourself: what work can I do that my neighbour can not? Each human soul can say, I am unique. In all the worlds, in all the ages, there has never been anyone like you, and in all time, there never will be again.
Examine your gifts and talents, and then put them to the best use you can.
You don’t need to escape it or shirk it, because it is your work. If you don’t do it, no one else will.
“Today is, for all that we know, the opportunity and occasion of our lives. The success and completeness of our entire life may depend on what we do or say today. It is for us, therefore, to use every moment of today as if our very eternity were dependent on its words and deeds.” (Dr. Trumbull).
If we do not do the work we were meant to do, it will forever remain undone.
In the annals of eternity, there will be some good that is lacking which we could have provided, some reward that is un-bestowed; there will be something incomplete in all the years. Imagine the sorrow of opportunities neglected or slighted. The remorse for the good that you could have done, and did not.
Nothing is lost. Every breath of our lives, every heart-beat, will pulsate through eternity.
It is time to get to work.
