| | Finding Personal Meaning In Your CareerWritten by Scott Brown
When we talk about personal meaning in terms of our career, people often think it’s about turning your passion or favorite hobby into a job. However, personal meaning can mean different things to different people. Your personal meaning doesn’t necessarily have to come from a job that you love every minute of. Instead, think of it as something you get as a reward for a job well done. It’s Not Just About Dream Jobs People have generally defined personal meaning as a feeling you get from choosing a job that makes you feel something in your heart. It is often thought of as something that makes you who you are. However, it doesn’t only come from what you’ve always thought of as your “dream job.” For some, personal meaning comes from rewards they get from their job. It’s about appreciating difference you make in your world or someone else’s. You don’t have to save peoples’ lives to make a difference. How to Find Your Own Meaning Some people find joy in helping others. Whether it be a colleague, a customer, or a group of people they don’t even know. On other hand, you may find value in helping your company run like a well-oiled machine. Whatever your job is, you are an important part of a big picture. Sometimes we forget how much we are worth and start to think it wouldn’t make a difference if we were there or not. This is not true! The way economy is, if there wasn’t a need for your job position, you wouldn’t have a job!
