Finding the Job of Your Life - Gianpiero Petriglieri Let’s face it. We all think about it. At times we think of little else — even if only rarely and in certain settings do we feel free to admit it. The conversation often begins furtively, the question murmured as if slightly shameful or out of place. How can I get more of it at work? Meaning, that is. Meaning at work, in work, from work. It may be because we are freer. It may be because we are too focused or not focused enough. It may be because we are more exposed. Someone always seems to be pulling it off. The more we reach for meaning, the more elusive it becomes. When you look at it that way, meaning is like love. Yearning for either turns some into poets and drives the rest of us on a quest to experience it. But when it comes to love, most grown-ups realize what that quest will take. We long ago gave up the fantasy that a Prince or Princess Charming will show up one day to sweep us off our feet. Love, the sentiment, is a consequence of having found our somebody. Dating.

101 Ways to Love Your Job: The Illusion of Guilt It's always there. like a trail of breadcrumbs, the path to peace (and out of stress) is the same as the path away that got you out of peace (and stressed out). It goes action > guilt > projection. So you just gotta turn it around and see the projection >past the guilt > find my action. You're looking at your projection now, you just gotta clear the guilt which is hiding your own action, and see it again with your beautiful eyes of light which now know that you did nothing wrong and you could never make a mistake. Sometimes it takes hours to find it, but it is always there. If I see a wrong has been done by another, always, I have done this wrong myself and am just holding the other guilty because I hold myself guilty. Tip before you try this: The best way is to ask nicely and then close your eyes and sit quietly and wait for the memory to appear. ~Caity Johnstone See Stephanie's site Work Stress Solutions for more information like this.

The Bamboo Project Blog Alan Weinkrantz has a series of interesting blog posts over at Chris Brogan's Owner Mag on the idea of the StartOver economy. This is an economy where things are moving quickly and where yesterday's success is no guarantee that tomorrow will bring the same. This idea of the StartOver economy should resonate with all of us.

Most of us will have to master how to navigate the StartOver economy if we hope to have a thriving career that carries us through 40+ years of work.
