    Finding Your Calling

    In this final installment on the meaning of work, I explore the words that describe the work people most long for – calling, vocation, purpose, and mission — and how even they can cause barriers to pursuing, achieving and sustaining meaningful work.

    If you don’t love your work now, but want to find a career that is energizing and fulfilling you probably fall into one of the four following camps: You already know what you really want to do and are working on transitioning from where you are to where you want to be.
