Hi, it's Robin Sharma. Welcome to the Mastery Sessions.

This Mastery Session is all about how do you shift from doing a job to working a craft.

Fundamentally different way of seeing your work.

Because a brain tattoo I love sharing with my audiences is this one.

A job is only just a job if you see it as a job. And so why would you lose the opportunity to

leverage what you do every day to grow your happiness, to grow your energy to allow you to release more your talents in the world, to allow you to

help more people, why would you miss that opportunity by falling into the trap of thinking this is just my job. I'm just getting up in the

morning and working 9 to 5 going down to the coal mine every day. And you could say, well Robin, this doesn't apply to me. You know, I just

have an ordinary job. Well, I've got to tell you, I've met taxi drivers who feel their

work is incredibly meaningful.

I mean I was at LaGuardia and I remember being in a taxi cab and the man had this white shirt

and his cab was perfection and I said you know your attitude is great your passion is awesome your cab is perfect

you've got this fresh newspaper for me to read what is your psychology that allows

you to do this and he said Robin this is not a dirty job

it's an important job I get to make a difference I remember being Johannesburg

meeting the janitor in the Johannesburg men's room or W.C. who worked like he was the

Elon Musk of what he did. He worked like Pavarotti saying.

And so my point is simply this,

it's really your choice as to how you will view the work you do every day.

And even in the most quote unquote ordinary of work, you can find gold.

And if you connect with the gold, you connect with the meaning.

And if you connect with the meaning, you connect with your talents.
