Suffering Matters in Our Career

Suffering matters. When it comes to our career, suffering matters in a very important way. It can really set us back professionally.

The longer we remain in a state of pain and distress, the longer we lack interest, motivation, and energy to fulfill our obligations. This quickly leads to decreased productivity and eventually threatens job security.

That means there is such a thing as unhealthy suffering at work.

Jesus told us we would have trouble in this world, He also tossed in a word of encouragement. He literally told us to take it, as in, “take courage.” When painful career situations drift our way, we can choose how much and how long to suffer. Psychologically speaking, this is not an easy choice.

Watch this video to understand the matters of suffering in our career. You will hear about the spiritual and practical ways to overcome this tricky coping mechanism.
