On Purpose-On destiny
There was a time when you could show up to work, leave your brain somewhere else and go through the motions. There are still some people who are locked into that time. It just does not work anymore. Key to health and happiness is doing work that makes your heart sing or at least hum. It is not a good thing to see senior professionals retire disillusioned about what the incoming generation hold as values with both groups convinced that it is impossible to communicate to the other yet that is the case in many organizations and is especially critical at the leadership level.
Bridging the gap means letting go of the notion that you have to 'suck it up' , 'it' presumably being your desire to do meaningful work. Change you must or get sick trying to fight off the happiness that is yours for the creating. Making the change demands recognizing the impact on your relationship with others, particularly your #1 life partner or mate. It is easy to forget that if you are not happy in what you are doing, unless you are an actor, it will have an impact on your relationship. The conversation starts with your heart's desire and then moves to sharing what is important to quality of life with your significant other. These are tricky times and made less tricky by being true to your self. All hands on deck to support Please!
