Protips-August 27,2013 Contentment vs. Complacency By Maloi Malibiran-Salumbides Kuntento ka ba sa iyong trabaho? Ang sabi ng Greek philosopher na si Epicurus, “Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.” Mabuting maging kuntento tayo sa ating trabaho, pero hindi naman ibig sabihin na dahil kuntento ka na ay hindi ka na magsisikap. Parang ganito: Be happy and content that you were able to get in the company where you are working now. Maaaring yan ang dream job mo at matagal mong hiningi kay God na makapasok ka sa kumpanyang iyan. Pero hindi ibig sabihin na kapag natanggap ka na sa trabaho, papasok ka na lamang para mag-clock-in at clock-out at wala ka nang gagawin buong araw. Hindi na yan contentment kundi complacency. Ang sabi sa 1 Timothy 6:6, “Godliness with contentment is great gain.” But there’s a very big difference between being content and being complacent. The Apostle Paul said in Philippians 4:11 that he has learned how to be content with whatever he has. Yet in Philippians 3:14 he also says, “I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.” Kung gusto mong umasenso at maging masaya sa iyong trabaho, be contented, but don’t be complacent. Sa paanong paraan? 1. Maging kuntento, pero huwag maging tamad. Sabi nga sa Bible, kung hindi ka magtatrabaho, huwag kang kumain. God’s Word discourages laziness but teaches us to live with contentment. 2. Maging kuntento, pero patuloy na mangarap. Being content does not mean you put a limit to your dreams and goals. Ibig lamang sabihin ng pagiging kuntento, sa bawat trabaho na nagagawa at natatapos mo, ipinagpapasalamat mo ito sa Diyos at patuloy kang nagtitiwala sa Kanya para maabot pa ang mga plano at pangarap na inilagay Niya sa puso mo. 3. Maging kuntento, pero maging bukas sa mga bagay na gusto pang ipagawa sa iyo ng Diyos. I know of someone who really made it big in his professional life working for a multinational company. Marami ang naghahangad na maabot ang narating na niya sa buhay. Kuntento naman siya sa kanyang trabaho. He saw this as an opportunity to influence others positively and to share his faith with them. Pero kahit kuntento na siya, he made himself available for bigger things that God would have him do. He retired from his high-paying job to go into full-time ministry and help professionalize the creative team in their church. Maging kuntento pero patuloy na kumikilos. Maging kuntento at patuloy na nangangarap. Higit sa lahat, maging kuntento at patuloy na lumago. BE A BLESSING IN THE WORKPLACE TODAY!
