Tasks vs Opportunities

If there was only one thing I learnt from Shell Life, this would probably be it. So many times in the last year or even in life, I've tend to look at work I was assigned to do as a task, with the sole purpose of completing and getting it out of the way. It showed in the level of dedication I accorded to it and reflected in the quality produced. I feel a sense of regret at the many times I settled for less than excellence. I'm challenging myself to view every piece of work as an opportunity, to do more than what is expected, to learn as much as I can, to glorify God in all I do and to really see that the work does have benefits to me. It is a paradigm shift that is most powerful and I am grateful for it.
