Right Livelihood
Many people, specially younger people, may not have the luxury of choosing their work and the kind of jobs that they do. However, if you do have the choice of the kind of work that you do, then ideally choose work that best fits your particular disposition and temperament.
When choosing a job or the kind of work you really want to do, besides salary and your personal strengths, follow these guidelines to assure a deeper or more long-term happiness at work.
1. When choosing a field of work, consider the benefit or harm to others caused by this kind of work.
2. Consider the concept of "right livelihood", which means that you strive to engage in an activity that has no potential for being harmful to others, either directly or indirectly.
3. When you seek your lifelihood, ensure that you do it in an ethical way, without harming or damaging others.
4. Be more concerned about the way in which you are making a living rather than how much money you make.
5. Remember that the approach to dealing with one's job, the attitudes towards work, and the nature of employment may vary from one culture to the next.
6. It may not always be possible to think about "right livelihood", and not everybody has lots of options about the work they do, at least it is good to give serious thought to the kind of work you do, and the impact it has on others.
7. In short, in our quest for happiness at work, a critical factor is looking at the impact our work has on others and assuring that we don't intentionally harm others in the work we do. If we do this intentionally, then we are well on our way to happiness at work.
