It’s true, all of these people exhaust me and they take up my most valued resources - time and energy.
Therefore, as I reflected on this conundrum, while trying to find something poetic to offer, I decided I needed to add work to my list of things I love.
"Rory – What exactly do you mean by work?"
Since defining our terms is an important part of reducing uncertainty in communication, I did some research to help us share a common definition:
... Hey Google, “What is the definition of work?” ...
Ultimately, I found a definition from the world of physics that really resonated with me.
In physics the concept of work is defined as: force applied over distance.
The reference to force, makes me think of communication.
And the reference to distance, makes me think of time.
With this definition in hand, it helped me to understand that I love work because it represents what is required to create meaningful relationships:
sustained effective communication over a period of time.
