We are often thinking that only salaried work is something which should be valued. This should not be the lookout. There are many reasons to support this statement of mine. I will exactly explain to you why work in any form is a blessing in disguise.

Should we do work that are not salaried??

Yes, of course we should not always look for money in whatever we do. There should be a division of work . We need to do work that relaxes us from our paid jobs. We need to take every work positively. We do not know how these minute efforts will help us lead a happy life.

What are the good effects of getting involved in different types of work??

When we work for nine or ten hours in our laptop it becomes very difficult for us. We think that since this work is giving me some money, I should concentrate on this only. But what about my relaxation? I also need to relax. So in between if we take care of our household work, that would not only give us some relaxation but also help us take care of our daily chores.

Why should we spent time on household work??

We should first take care of the space that is giving us shelter. We should have that gratefulness to that environment which is providing me food, giving me shelter and offering me a place to take rest and so on.  When we clean our clothes and wear the clean cloth the next day, it gives us a pleasant feeling and satisfaction. The fresh smell of the clean cloth gives us refreshment than the dirty cloth which we could have worn, hadn't we kept it clean. So our little effort makes us satisfied and happy. So how can we undervalue them? 

Similarly, when we cook good food for ourselves and when we keep our toilet clean. When we do the dusting and cleaning of vessels, everything should give us a feeling of satisfaction.  

What is the need of taking care of our household or hobbies which does not earn us money??

Yes, of course we may not earn money directly from doing our household or following our passion or hobbies. But the joy we get when we eat a good dish, or use clean clothes and toilet, is something which we should not ignore.

Say, if you had to use a dirty toilet, wear dirty clothes, had no cooked food to eat and so on…

would you like that feeling. None of us would actually love those experiences. So we should give ourselves the treat of good food, clean house and good life.,

Even with our hobbies, we should follow them. We never know, when we can get some opportunity out of it.

Will people not undervalue us for not doing only a salaried work??

People are actually not wise, when they do so. We should think of our overall well being and not just something that gives us instant joy. We should take care of our mind, heart, soul, body and our total development rather than just earning some currency only.
