In it, he writes: \u201cWork is love made visible.\u201d Beautiful, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"243\" data-end=\"387\">Think of painters, dancers, poets, or elite athletes. People who have built a life around a passion. Their love made visible through their work. I can hear you thinking: <em data-start=\"414\" data-end=\"460\">Yeah, but that\u2019s not realistic for everyone.<\/em><br data-start=\"460\" data-end=\"463\" \/>You\u2019re right. But showing the extremes helps sharpen the image. It gives you a feeling for what this is really about.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"582\" data-end=\"829\">Most people are capable of finding more fulfillment in their work than they currently do. The first step? Get to know your strengths.<br data-start=\"715\" data-end=\"718\" \/>Then choose work that allows you to use those strengths\u2014not all day, but at multiple points throughout the day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"831\" data-end=\"1045\">Often, it\u2019s in the little things.<br data-start=\"864\" data-end=\"867\" \/>In the way you interact with colleagues, you might express kindness, emotional intelligence, or care. In your role as a manager, you might show honesty, integrity, or humility.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1047\" data-end=\"1261\">Sometimes it\u2019s more explicit.<br data-start=\"1076\" data-end=\"1079\" \/>Someone with creativity as a core strength might retrain as a web designer. A manager who\u2019s great at seeing different perspectives might make the switch to become a business coach.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1263\" data-end=\"1602\">When your work lets you use your strengths, it doesn\u2019t just increase your sense of fulfillment. You might even start to see your job as a calling. When you give attention to what you love, your sense of well-being increases.<br data-start=\"1489\" data-end=\"1492\" \/>And when you do what you\u2019re meant to do, you\u2019re doing what you love. That\u2019s how the circle completes itself.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1604\" data-end=\"1831\">Of course, this isn\u2019t the only way to explore your next step. But it\u2019s a powerful starting point\u2014one that not only leads to work that fits, but also supports your well-being. And ultimately, isn\u2019t that what we\u2019re all after?<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1833\" data-end=\"1881\">Back to Gibran. Work is love made visible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1883\" data-end=\"2080\">What makes your heart beat faster?<br data-start=\"1917\" data-end=\"1920\" \/>When have you truly thrived? Chances are, you were using your character strengths.<br data-start=\"2002\" data-end=\"2005\" \/>When did you last feel a deep sense of meaning or fulfillment in your work?<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2082\" data-end=\"2207\">Bring out the best in yourself. Start at the beginning. Get to know your strengths. I\u2019d be happy to help you with that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of my favorite books is The Prophet by Khalil  [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2497,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2054","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-work"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
