The Work You Love
Just a quick post to share what I found to be life-changing in Dan Miller’s book 48 Days to the Work You Love
First, I love the concept. It’s about time we get serious about finding that unique niche where we love what we do and someone has to tell us to turn out the lights and quit working. I’m sure that, like me, you want work that doesn’t feel like work. That only happens when there is an almost perfect match between what you are doing and who you are.No book can give you specifics but Dan’s book makes significant contributions to how we can grapple with this issue and make progress.

What is a plan?
I love the quote in the header: “Planning is bringing the future into the present so you can do something about it now” (Alan Lakein). I especially like it because it captures the way in which a plan is kind of general. A plan gets us going in right direction, but leaves room for learning and making adjustments.
