Well, for me at least. I’ve been stopped cold in my tracks today by two deeply probing questions offered by Dick Richards at Come Gather Round:
I need to reflect on the first question because I’m wandering now and not in the good kind of way. After a recent foray in the world of self-employment (and later unemployment), I am most thankful to have stable work that pays…but true to my self and my beliefs that is simply not enough. I’m seeking to rediscover my own soulful work because I am not sure that I’m doing it right now.
Which leads to the issues surrounding the second question. I might even reframe it: Do I really like who I am when I do my current work? I have a feeling that the answer may be hard to confront. But I know that my heart is telling me that its time to reconnect with it; it’s been patiently calling me for some time.
Which reminds me…I need to make sure that I read Dick’s book, Is Your Genius at Work?, very soon.
Dick, you're so very right. I'm still processing the questions...but then again, they are the kinds of questions that can't be figured out with a trip to the coffeeshop. Maybe I'll be able to conjure up a post in a couple of days. Thanks for the help in thinking bigger :)
