It’s Ok

It's Ok

To not love your job

 

To do work

That pays the bills

But doesn’t fill your soul 

 

Soul filling work

Isn’t all that common

Anyway

 

A rare gift reserved

For major league athletes

Hollywood actresses

And fairytales

 

It’s ok if you toil hard

So you can afford

To fit in 

The parts of your life

That fill you up

 

That make your imagination soar

 

That splash with color

 

And just the right words

 

And so much meaning that

It overflows from you 

Out onto the world

 

It’s ok if your job is not the thing

That inspires you

 

You are more than what 

You are paid for

 

And what you offer freely

From the deepest part of yourself 

 

The world couldn’t afford anyway
