"We put the thought of what we love into all that we make."

To me that seems the essence of enjying work.

As for the "six steps"-- if I did them, I'd be happier... I do try, and am trying harder lately. When I first read them months ago I thought that I should find the biblical underpinnings for them, and see if they held together. I may yet do that.
