To have a fulfilled work life, find the intersection of the following:
1. What you LOVE doing. The work will feel “light” or easy most days because you enjoy what you do.
2. What you’re GREAT at doing. Everyone likes being good at what they do. It brings internal satisfaction, but also can bring external recognition.
3. What people will PAY you to do. Ultimately, you have to make a living. Being paid (and paid well) will help to ease any internal concerns you may have about whether or not you made the right career choice.
