How Your Mindset Can Impact Your Work

How Your Mindset Can Impact Your Work

There is a story of a man who walks into a construction site and as he walks into the site he passes by a worker and asks, "What are you doing?" and the worker says, "I'm laying bricks". The man continues on his way and runs into a second worker and again asks, "What are you doing?" and this time the worker says, "I'm building a wall".

The man continues on once again and runs into one final worker and again asks the question, "What are you doing?", but this time the worker answers, "I'm building a cathedral".

All three workers were doing the same job, the difference was the way they thought about their work. The moral of the story is that you have the ability to affect the way you think about your job and work in general. It doesn't matter if you are a cashier, a teacher or a CEO, it's all about what you tell yourself and the attitude you choose to have.

So, are you laying bricks or are you creating a cathedral?
