The Need For Meaningful Work

By:

Aggelos is dissatisfied with his work and wants to quit. His wife Elli is afraid.

Aggelos is confused. He does not enjoy going to work. He is not lazy. He is an industrious and creative person, but his work does not stimulate him, or have meaning for him anymore. He would like to do something more creative and more beneficial to people. He cannot stand the distant relationships and meaningless discussions of his work environment.

He is afraid of how he will support his family until he is able to find some other solution. He would not like to work in another office, nor work for someone else. He would like to be free to create his own job and do something that would improve people's lives in some way.

Elli agrees, loves him very much and would like him to be happy, but her fears are even greater. When he starts talking about quitting, she goes into panic and immediately into the interrogator mode, bombarding him with questions and criticism that mirror exactly his own fears.

When he hears her expressing these fears, he forgets they are actually his own fears being reflected and gets angry. He shouts and then goes off pouting, feeling the victim, and then plays the silent one for a few days. He feels he is being obstructed and trapped by what the others need.

Both are confused. Both would like for Aggelos to have a happy work environment but both are afraid of how they will make it economically. This problem is taking its toll on their relationship. He is not happy and she is afraid. Even though they love each other, they often project their negativity on each other


What could their lessons be in this situation?

Angelos:
Could he need to learn some of the following lessons:

To overcome his fear of financial insecurity?

To clarify his life values and goals? To learn to love his job as it is?

To overcome his fear of what others may think if he quits?

To express himself more clearly at work to create an environment that suits him better?

To search inwardly more deeply to discover what exactly makes his work unpleasant for him?

To develop greater faith in divine laws and the promise that if he does what he loves and is beneficial for the whole, all his needs will be cared for?

To free himself from various attachments to comforts that create a greater need for money?

To learn to love and accept those persons in his work environment more unconditionally?

To follow his dream and have faith that all with work out?

Elli:
Could she need to learn some of the following lessons:

To develop faith in Angelos to maintain economic security through more simple living?

That life gives her at every moment exactly what she needs to survive and grow spiritually?

To feel happy and at ease with less money?

To have faith that all will be provided if they are sincere and connected with the universe around them?

To live her life according to her truest values and offer the results to God?

To be more eloquent and not so pressuring in communicating her needs to Angelos?

To help Angelos understand what is going on within himself and what he needs to do?

To get a job and help out until Angelos can decided what he wants?
