“Sometimes, we find that what we are doing is something other than what we really want to do. It is never too late to ask, ‘Am I doing what I want to do? Is it giving me all of the benefits I want and need? How close is it to my perfect job?’ Take a few moments now to think about it. It might help to look at this brief list that identifies what, for me, are the most important characteristics of the perfect job: I would be happy to do the work I do for free; I believe it has value — to me and to the people who pay me for it; It is fully challenging. It engages both the logical and the creative sides of my brain.”
