“If a man is called to be a streetsweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great streetsweeper who did his job well.”
Martin Luther King, Jr. made that statement and it is perhaps one of the most profound things I have ever read, outside of the Bible. It speaks to happiness. It speaks to all of us in trying to convey the message that we should give our all, no matter what it is we are doing in life.
It could just as easily read journalist, teacher, insurance salesman or any other profession known to man and if we would all take heed, imagine the increased productivity in our workplaces, in our ministries, our churches and even in our homes.
