Craftsmanship

Our pusuit of the bottom line is destroying our natural inclination to be craftsman and craftswomen. We are giving up on work that grows from our love and knowledge of a subject in favor of what is most expedient. This leaves us empty and litters the landscape with crap that loses its value in a matter years if not weeks.

Let's slow down enough to remember that are some things that we love and that we'd like to throw ourselves into. Things that are intrinsically satisfying to us. Instead of chasing profits, let the profit flow from the value that is naturally created when we infuse our work with love and care. This applies to homebuilders, educators, politicians, business people, etc. Step out off the treadmill and remember who you are and what really gets you going. Then act on it and trust that the universe will reward you for it.
