Lailah Gifty AkitaIt is better work without being paid to fulfill a divine purpose than to be rich without any fulfillment.
About This Quote
The purpose of work is to help people. When you are working for money, your work is for the money. As a result, your work will not have any meaning beyond that. You are just making the world a better place by keeping people happy and helping them.
This quote means that doing something just because you are being paid is not fulfilling. There needs to be a deeper purpose and reason for you to do the job. It’s like doing something for free and then feeling like you had no choice but to do it because it was the only way to make some money.
It’s like someone who works on a volunteer basis and then feels guilty about his or her job because it makes him or her feel better about his or her job as opposed to feeling grateful for actually having a job.
