How to Find Fulfilment in Your Work

In a few words: Make more decisions that align your passion, proficiency, and profitability.

This takes earnest introspection and honest evaluation of:

♥️ what you truly love.

🔨 What you are good at.

♻️ What will bring you profit.

Let’s explore each.

♥️ Passion speaks to your intrinsic motivation.

What does this look like? 

✅ Your heart is in what you do and you can gladly lose yourself in the daily pursuit of what you are passionate about.

🔨 Proficiency targets your competence.

What does that look like?

✅ You are in a state of flow. The more you are engaged in an activity you are proficient at, the more efficient, effective, and confident you get at doing it. You readily sign up for this type of work and could be woken up in the middle of the night without preparation and still deliver A+. 

You are good at what you do and you know it! 

♻️ Profit is an extrinsic motivator and sustainability mechanism.

What does this look like?

✅ You are motivated by the reward that comes from applying your passion and proficiency. Your work is valuable and valued as such, making you feel purposeful and appreciated for your contribution. 

✅ 360-degree work-life profit also secures sustainability so you can continue to do what you love and are good at without worrying about how you are going to sustain your health, lifestyle, and future aspirations.

If you suffer from Monday Blues, look at which of these 3Ps you are compromising and make adjustments. It is not enough to have one or even two, you need all three to think, feel, and perform optimally. 

When you do, you will be surprised at how much better you feel on Sunday evening about Monday morning.

Don’t be surprised if you walk into work ith a pep in your step, humming “Lovely day!” ☀️
