“I’ve devoted my life to the wrong things in the past. I don’t want to do that again.”
A friend of mine told me this at work. It’s been a month since he told me, but it’s stuck with me.
Today, I read this post about doing the best work of your life. That initial question – “Do you have a job or career path that supports you in doing the best work of your life?” – that’s the kind of question I’ve been pondering lately.
A month or two ago, I found this post about doing an integrity report. Write down your core values, review how your life matched up with them over the past year, and come up with ways to hold yourself to a higher standard of living your values in the upcoming year.
All of these ideas have been circling in my thoughts lately. I’d like to do my own version of the integrity report here annually. But that’s hard. My current job doesn’t support me doing the best work of my life. At least it doesn’t seem that way right now. My integrity report would show how much I’m out of alignment.
Like my friend, I’ve devoted my life to the wrong things in the past. I don’t want to do that again.
