Personality Thursday [43]

Personality Thursday [43] – The Grind!

I believe that since Adam, we are all born with the inherent desire to make a living. Also, most of the time we don’t have a choice. Enter the ‘grind’. It even sounds like hard work to do, sounds like pieces of metal rubbing the crap out of each other. Sounds like something you don’t want to do. And you’d be right.

See the concept of work came as a curse to mankind when Adam disobeyed God in the garden of Eden. No wonder it always is the unnatural thing to do. It seems to suck us in, giving up everything for the grind. Sometimes giving up passion for the grind. That is how we choke, how we get blotched up from the inside outside, how we start dying before we die.

But then again, God did not make us to be alive while dead, He gave us passions, skills, talents in the hope that the grind might not be unbearable but that even on the grind, we may thrive. Find your rhythm in the grind and take a leap, a leap of faith, a leap into the unknown. A leap freeing you from the grind.
