Life Transition: Beginning a New Career

Commentary by Peter Shepherd

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.” ~ Steve Jobs

We may find ourselves dwelling on such matters as our career paths and our vocational satisfaction, feeling trapped and unhappy yet afraid to break out and try something different. But we can take heart... we are stronger than we believe; however desperate circumstances may seem, there is a path forward whereby all things remain possible.

“What we fear doing most is usually what we most need to do.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Making a big life change is usually pretty scary. But you know what's even scarier? Regret.

“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” ~ C. S. Lewis

As long as you've got passion, faith and are willing to work hard, you can do anything you want in this life.

“You have to do what you love to do, not get stuck in that comfort zone of a regular job. Life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it.” ~ Lucinda Basset

Nothing more stressful and depressing than going to work when it just doesn't cut it anymore... if it doesn't align with your values, doesn't utilize your potential, or you are simply overrun repeating the same old formula. If it doesn't light your fire, look for something better.

“Why not go out on a limb? That's where the fruit is.” ~ Mark Twain

And Confucius: "Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life."
