Did you enjoy doing something as a kid, but wrote it off as silly? Were you discouraged from pursuing something you really enjoyed when you were younger? As a result, you might feel unsatisfied and frustrated with your direction in life.

Meaningful, fulfilling work happens when you use your talent (what you do best), to perform your passion (what you love to do most), to achieve your mission (results that matter deeply to you). The more you understand yourself and what’s important to you, the more clarity you’ll have in your career—and the closer you’ll be to finding work you’re excited about.
