Gotta Earn Your Dough

Gotta Earn Your Dough

No matter how you make your living, whether you're a doctor, a technician, an office worker or even a priest/pastor, I guess the trick of being happy with what you do lies in looking for and findling the sublime and perhaps even the Divine in your work.  Having said that, you just Gotta Earn Your Dough because UNLESS you spew out and exert every ounce of effort [and that comes with sweat], nothing will happen💊💊💊

It's true, those with a 'silver spoon' in their mouth need NOT earn their dough but the catch is, that dough will keep getting reduced till one day, he's got NO dough left.  But who wants to have his dough trickle down in volume till he ends up empty-handed?  Sadly, I can attest to that sad scenario.  And if we go back and dissect the value of the dough, surely we'll pick up some key lessons here📌📌📌

Going back to the dough, the analogy with life is the dough's resilience.  In case you have NOT read typical instructions of 'punching down the dough', as it just springs straight back a few minutes later, even novices in dough would attest that the dough would continue to rise higher.  So, if we were only like dough in that respect, if only we could ride with the punches life throws at us💎💎💎

BUT while dough seems a forgiving medium to work with, if we are into a technical work even likea carpenter or metal worker, of we make the slightest scratch or glitch in our work, it will remain there for all eternity.  For those with kids, if you harp on all of your child's imperfections [and worse, even accentuate them], they will probably end up being permanent when they become adults.  Conversely, if you provide a loving environment that accentuates your strengths rather than their weaknesses, when they grow into aduithood, most [if NOT all] of those imperfections will disappear and their good traits become dominant✅✅✅

BTW, dough that is pumped full of air does NOT lead to a better bread.  Unfortunately, in life, we are fooled into thinking that that which is puffed and more visually attractive is the better product. We know deep down that it's NOT only the 'preening' and the outward appearance that matters but also the substance.  What kind of people do we prefer?  Those who are puffed full of hot air and little else?  Or those who have some substance, integrity, honesty and values❓❓❓
