\u201cFollow your dreams.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

My fellow Millennials and I have heard this phrase our entire lives. We can \u201cbe anything we want to be.\u201d While there\u2019s a happy optimism and hopefulness to those sayings, it\u2019s starting to seem as though they\u2019ve greatly damaged this generation\u2019s work ethic. Everybody wants their job to provide them with fulfillment and satisfaction. Many assume that they\u2019re going to be rich, famous, or both, and that a job that is going to make them feel fulfilled and that they\u2019re really making a difference in people\u2019s lives is what they deserve and what they\u2019ll eventually find. (No, this isn\u2019t applicable to every Millennial. And no, it\u2019s not a problem confined to just one generation. It\u2019s simply one that is more prevalent in those entering today\u2019s workforce.) <\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the truth so many need to face: you can\u2019t become anything you want to be. 43 people in the history of the United States have been president. (Grover Cleveland served two separate terms, in case you\u2019re thinking my math is off.) 31 men have won a Super Bowl championship as the starting quarterback. 549 people in human history have been into space. Very, very few people get to be pop stars, movie stars, or famous artists. Not many get to be world-changing philanthropists who do great things for thousands of people. And that\u2019s okay.<\/i> Once we come to grips with the fact that we\u2019re not all created for those roles, we can start to focus on doing the best in whatever role we find ourselves and using our talents wherever God puts us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But the issue doesn\u2019t stop there. The overwhelming majority of us naturally have to accept that we aren\u2019t going to be wildly rich and famous just by default. When you hit 20, 25, 30 years old, you start to figure out that that\u2019s not how life is going to be. But that doesn\u2019t mean the sense of entitlement just goes away. We\u2019ve seen the rise of millennial experts who go around speaking and doing podcasts and YouTube videos about all the conditions Millennials need to survive and thrive in the workplace and society. In fact, the internet is filled with articles about what Millennials \u201cneed\u201d from the workspace to make them satisfied with their job. Mental Floss, for example, shared an article on \u201cThe 5 Things Millennials Want From Their Employer\u201d – to feel nurtured and have leadership opportunities, for their employers to share their values, for their employers to have a vision and positive impact, for people to come before profit, and more than just salary (like flexible hours).[1]<\/span><\/p>\n

Getting those things is incredibly nice, and they make a job much more enjoyable\u2026 but why would someone need all of those conditions to take a job? What happened to just taking a job, putting your head down, and getting to work? All of this, though, is symptomatic of a larger, more spiritual problem.<\/span><\/p>\n

In his book \u201cJust Do Something\u201d on how to pursue God\u2019s will in your life, Kevin DeYoung wrote<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, we\u2019ve turned the idea of calling or vocation on its head. The Reformers emphasized calling in order to break down the sacred-secular divide. They said, if you are working for the glory of God, you are doing the Lord\u2019s work, no matter whether you\u2019re a priest or a monk or a banker. But we\u2019ve taken this notion of calling and turned it upside down, so instead of finding purpose in every kind of work, we are madly looking for the one job that will fulfill our purpose in life. [2]<\/span><\/p>\n

That last phrase – \u201cWe are madly looking for the one job that will fulfill our purpose in life\u201d – that\u2019s the one that gets to the very heart of the issue. \u201cFollow your dreams\u201d has led to work being idolized as the thing that will bring us joy and fulfillment and happiness, that all of our dreams will come true if we get into the right job with the right people. When we take that attitude, it\u2019s no wonder that there\u2019s such a hesitancy to \u201csettle\u201d for a decent job when the perfect one could be out there. Unsurprisingly, Millennials are three times more likely to job hop than previous generations<\/span> as they go from place to place looking for the one role that will finally fulfill all of their desires. [3] (And, to be fair, idolatry of the job is neither new nor unique to Millennials. It\u2019s simply far more pronounced.) <\/span><\/p>\n

But labor is never going to fulfill us. It\u2019s good for us, and it\u2019s an important part of our lives, but the perfect work environment will still leave us feeling hollow. Solomon learned this lesson thousands of years ago. In Ecclesiastes 2:9-11 he looked back on his labor and the reward for it and concluded that it, like everything else this earth offers, was vanity. As C.S. Lewis put it, \u201cWe are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered to us.\u201d<\/span> He goes on to point out the foolishness of placing our hopes and dreams in things that are good, but not ultimate.<\/span><\/p>\n

The books or the music in which we thought the beauty was located will betray us if we trust them; it was not in<\/i> them, it only came through<\/i> them, and what came through them was longing. These things-the beauty, the memory of our own past- are good images of what we really desire; but if they are mistaken for the thing itself, they turn into dumb idols, breaking the hearts of their worshippers.[4]<\/span><\/p>\n

What we long for can come through <\/i>our work, but never from it. If we idolize that perfect job, it\u2019s going to let us down and break our hearts. But if we look at work as part of the whole, we can find fulfillment knowing that only God can provide that, and that He will work through us no matter the job. Work, at its core, is about God. It always has been. <\/span><\/p>\n

DeYoung goes on to say, \u201cSometimes you feel a sense of calling to your job and, you know what, sometimes you don\u2019t. You just work\u2026 We must all serve the Lord with heart, soul, strength, and mind wherever He\u2019s placed us.\u201d [5]<\/span> Since when is there more shame in digging holes or flipping burgers than there is in sitting at home, refusing to do anything until the dream job comes along? Do we realize how ridiculous this is? It\u2019s such a simple concept. No matter who you are, no matter where you find yourself, you do your job to the best of your ability, because you\u2019re serving the Lord. Colossians 3:23 commands, \u201cAnd whatever you do, do it heartily, as to the Lord and not to men\u201d and Ecclesiastes 9:10 similarly says, \u201cWhatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might.\u201d We have to teach people to put work back in its proper place as a vital part of a thriving life but not the ultimate source of happiness. Hard work is a wonderful thing, ordained by God from the very beginning, but it can only bring true joy as part of a whole life in which God is the center.<\/span><\/p>\n

For every David, Moses, or Abraham in the Bible, there\u2019s a Ruth, an Andrew (who brought Peter to Jesus), or Epaphroditus (a man we only know as a dedicated servant of the Lord in Philippians 2). Once we realize that and that God can use us and give our lives purpose no matter where we find ourselves, we\u2019re free to let Him use us as He sees fit, whether that\u2019s as the President of the United States, or as literally any other type of employment. \u201cFollowing our dreams\u201d for our life\u2019s fulfillment is no match for letting God be in control and use the talents He\u2019s given us to His own glory. <\/span><\/p>\n
