“Our work works on us”
I don’t remember who documented that observation, but how true it is remains universal.
If you’re able to do your job well, then to some degree, you have competency for it.
Assuming theres still challenges for you to work out and solve and some of you personality matches the nature of the role— you’ll find yourself evolving over time, through your work.
The best job I ever had was writing related, I became more myself by engaging with the work– because the work was related to what I’m like.
I got to play with ideas, play with words, play with my teammates and create.
It’s easily been the most fun I’ve ever had, more than anything up til this point.
It wasn’t without frustration and anger, but it was a helluva ride.
And now the rides coming to an end, and I’m getting off this one and on another, one that offers more adventure, more change, more problems to solve, and more…. me.
Don’t worry about love, fulfillment, passion, or success.
Instead, accept a new challenge, one you’d like to spend time solving.
