What is Meaningful Work?
Author: Kathy Gates, Professional Life Coach

When you do what you love, it doesn’t feel like work. Yes, effort will be required. You may work very very hard. But since you love it, it gives you energy, instead of draining you.

Several years ago, I had a job that I wasn’t very happy with. Whenever someone would come into my office and say “How’s it going?’, I’d always answer “I’d rather be fishing.” Meaning, of course, that I’d rather be just about anywhere than where I was (no offense to fishermen).

With meaningful work, you tend to work harder than ever, but with much more satisfaction than you ever thought possible.

Some of you are probably familiar with Barbar Sher and her book “I could do anything if I only knew what it was”. It’s a wonderful book. In it she asks this question...

What makes work meaningful?

Do thoughts of giving up all earthly possessions and working with the poor and underpriviledged like Mother Tereasa come to mind? Does it mean to find a cure for a deadly disease? Does it mean to negotiate a peace agreement for the Middle East?

Do you feel like that in order to have meaningful work you have to be contributing, doing something really big, doing something that matters?

But, as Barbara Sher notes, what happens when you hear someone say this: “When I walked into that bookstore I feltlike I was home. I felt I was meant to work there. Everything I’d been and done until then fell into place”.

Wow. I’d say that person found meaningful work, wouldn’t you? Yet, there’s nothing about curing cancer, or winning an Olympic metal, or eliminating world hunger in that little bookstore.

Meaningful work, is about what has meaning to YOU. It’s as unique as you are. It’s not something to be created…it’s something to be DISCOVERED in your own backyard. Doing what you love, something worthwhile, something meaningful are all the same thing.

Because when you are doing the work you love, it IS a gift to the world. You are using your best abilities in the best possible way. You are doing something worth doing.

As noted in the book, Picasso wasn’t trying to help anybody. Yet he gave the world the most magnificent paintings. The scientist at 3M wasn’t planning on changing the world when he *accidently* invented Velcro. He was just doing what he loved to do.

In order to find meaningful work, you have to give up the notion of doing something HUGE. In order to find meaningful work, all you have to do is do what’s right for you.
