The blessing of the daily work

Blessed are those who have found their work. I often feel that I am as rich as Croesus, not in money, but rich because I have found my work something to which I can devote myself heart and soul, and which gives meaning and inspiration to my life.

I think it is a very great blessing when people find their work, and even though I have lots of difficulties, and there are many gloomy days in my life, I count myself among the fortunate.

If at times I feel rising within me the desire for a life of ease, I go back fondly to a life of hardship, convinced that I learn more from it. This is not the road on which one perishes.
(Vincent Van Gogh)
