What Makes Us Want to Work

In this session, we will examine why we work and leave you with some practical applications you may use to evolve into the vocation of your dreams.

Consider for a second that we labour in order to be happy.

Let us take a moment to unpack happiness.

Happiness is an individual experience.

Each person's definition of happiness is different.

Finally, it is founded on two key principles.

First, assess your societal contribution through your work and effort.

Second, the reward you receive from your work gives you a sense of accomplishment and fulfillment.

We may argue that one will be satisfied only when the output they put into the world is returned.

Everyone serves a function. They have a "Why" in their heart. You can never be satisfied at work until you pursue your goals (dream). Your true reason will drive you to conquer any hurdle.

Purpose is the most powerful instrument a man possesses. You can confront anything if you have a goal. Purpose provides hope. You die without hope. If you have genuine hope, you will never die or be defeated.

Defining work

This session's theme is Occupation.

When we study this term, we can see that it is derived from the root word "occupied."

Your occupation or work is what you do on a daily basis.

Some devote their time to educating others by sharing their knowledge, ability, or skill.

Others devote their time and energy to entertainment or amusement.

Hopefully, you are not someone who is preoccupied with mischievous or illegal behavior.

Your occupation is anything you engage yourself with.

So be cautious!

Seek Knowledge

You will need to educate yourself in order to complete your duty on this planet.

According to Hosea, a Hebrew Prophet who lived in the eighth century BC, "My People Perish Due to a Lack of Knowledge."

This is old advice that is still applicable today.

Knowledge that is not put to use is useless.

There, we must learn how to use it.

Education must be comprehensive, thus it will take place on three levels: body, soul, and spirit.

Your spirit must be taught about its genuine identity. " You must understand who you are.
Your mind must understand your goal.
Your body must understand how you intend to proceed.

I.E. You must study to the best of your ability. Study to learn without boundaries... Both formal and informal education are required.

Last Word

Never let your surroundings limit you. Use anything you have on hand at the moment. Use it to grow, build, and progress.

The Genesis Moment

Th e Genesis Moment: Forming Order During Chaos Genesis means “beginning,” teaching us to create order from chaos. Instead of fearing disorder, we can establish structure, embrace responsibility, and build a foundation for growth. Becoming Maverick means transforming through challenges and stepping into stewardship over your life. Let's apply the Genesis Mindset today. Genesis—it means "beginning." I often find myself returning to the first few chapters of Genesis , especially when life feels out of control and chaotic or when I'm facing things I don’t fully understand. There’s something about these opening words of the Bible that carries profound wisdom—wisdom we often overlook. Becoming Maverick is about stepping back, recognizing the principles that govern life, and applying them with intention. Too often, we get caught up in religious or scientific debates about Genesis and miss the principles it offers for how life on earth actually works. But if we take a st...
