One clue for discovering work that matters to you can be found by noticing your own dissatisfaction with problems you see in the world. Are there problems that invoke compassion for others? Do you see problems or needs that make you feel sad or angry? Is there a need you would like to fulfill if you had the power to make a difference?
Dissatisfaction can be positive if you use your discontentment to make a contribution. How can you use your passion, talents, skills and knowledge to help fill a need you see in the world? Aristotle put it this way, ” Where your talents and the needs of the world meet, there lies your vocation.”
