Do You Really Need Meaning from Your Work?

I was reading an article online this week, which explored the idea that maybe we should stop looking for the meaning in our work, and just accept the pointless.

Several different scenarios were discussed which pointed out that you don't necessarily have to have a high flying, high paying job to get some meaning out of what you do for a living.

I couldn't agree more, but there is more to it than just picking a job and trying to make the most of it.

You need to have a whole person approach. Just looking at what skills you have and what may interest you, is not enough.

You need to consider your personality traits, whats important to you in your work, what motivates you. What you feel called to do?

Think back over some of your successes in life. What made them feel like successes for you?

As the article mentioned, Viktor Frankl, a nazi war camp survivor and Austrian psychiatrist says, it is mans search for meaning that motivates him.
