How to Ditch the Negativity and Feel Good about Work

Updated: Jun 22, 2023

People complain endlessly about work. No one wants to work. People want more time off.

What do you do in your time off? Go to a restaurant? Go to a bar? Play a video game?



No leisure activity is possible without work. Someone is working in the restaurant so you can have a good time. And you had to work to be able to afford to eat out. The waiter and the cook are doing you a real service and making your life better through their work. And you are likely doing the same for others through your work. Plus, you're benefitting those you spend your money on.


In a capitalist economy, people have the freedom to spend their money on things they believe best suit their needs and wants. This means that companies that best satisfy their customers' needs and wants survive and thrive.


Many people think that charities are the only organizations that "do good" in the world, while companies are only interested in making money. However, this is simply not true. Companies can also work to do good in the world, and the people who work for them can have a significant positive impact through their work.


If you're working in the private sector, your work is how you can do the most good in the world. By creating products and services that people want and need, you're helping to improve their lives in tangible ways. Whether you're working in technology, healthcare, education, or any other industry, your work is helping to create a better world for all of us.


Don't underestimate the power of your work. Every product or service that you create has the potential to improve people's lives in some way. By approaching your work with a mindset of doing good, you can help to ensure that your work has a positive impact on the world.


It's important to note that working to do good in the world doesn't mean that you have to sacrifice your financial stability or personal happiness. In fact, many companies offer competitive salaries and benefits, and prioritize creating a positive company culture. By working for a company that values doing good, you can feel fulfilled and satisfied in your work while also making a positive impact on the world.


So, don't think that to do good in the world you must take the money you earn and donate it to charity. While charitable donations are certainly important, your greatest positive impact you can have on the world is already through your work that you do. By simply approaching your work with a mindset of doing good, you can make a significant positive impact on the world and help to create a better future for all of us.
