Sometimes you have to take a step back and find out if you really enjoy what you do. To do that I pose two very simple, yet complex questions.

1)      What do you want out of “work”?

2)      Do you have that?

If you answered yes to that last one my email is gregh29@gmail.com … please write me and help me figure this out so I can share with others.

My feeling though is that most of you who know what you want also know that you do not have that. Which brings me to the “point” of all this. We spend the vast majority of our awake life at work after the age of say 22. Yet we typically are unhappy, unsatisfied, and stressed. Why? Classic management wants to say that we just don’t want to do work. I don’t buy into that. I think we all want to do something but somehow we never end up doing it.

Me? I just want a job that is pushing the edge of what they can do rather than doing as little as possible to keep from falling off the back side. I want a job that cares more about who they are serving than they do about what they get in return. I want to work for a place that is not afraid to try something new out of fear that it might just work. In case you are wondering… I haven’t found any that yet.

I challenge any of you to not just be content to get a paycheck. Move toward something better, something you want. It is really the only way we can move this world forward.
