如果你擔心你的工作缺少深遠的目標,而且在世界上也沒什麼不同,那這只是你的一個插曲。今天的問題來自ReneeRenee寫到:「嗨!Marie,感謝你每個星期二深刻得見解和投稿。我甚至用你的話來鼓勵我年邁的媽媽。我的問題是關於我藝術職業的使命感。我以前是一位醫療保健的牧師,我喜歡感覺到是被需要和看到我的服務能有救命和生命改變的價值。在改變牧師職位之後,我決定開啟我自己視覺藝術的生意。然而我有些陷入困境,是關於領悟到我的藝術工作沒有救命及改變生命的價值。我害怕的是我的成就感並沒有變得比以前還要強或還要充足。希望能有更好的觀點使我能夠欣然接受。」謝謝Renee

Change The Word: 12 Ways To Make Work Meaningful No Matter What You Do-1

If you’re afraid that your work lacks are deep purpose and doesn’t really make a different in the world, this episode is for you. Today’s question comes from Renee, and Renee writes: ”Hi, Maire, Thanks for your insights and contributions every Tuesday. I’ve even used your words to encourage my elderly mom. My Q is about my sense of vocational purpose with art. I used to be a chaplain in health care. I love feeling needed and saw that my services is held lifesaving and life altering value. After changing from chaplaincy to purpose my own business with visual art, I’m getting a little bogged down with realization my purely aesthetic work won’t have lifesaving or life altering value. I fear is that my sense of fulfillment won’t be as strong or rich as used to be. There’s gotta be a better perspective to embrace.”  Thanks Renee.
