What Kind Of Work Would Make Your Life Feel More Like Your Own?

Every landscape begins somewhere. Here are a few examples to get you started:

I’d love to work outdoors. To know the weather matters. To watch things grow. To come home physically tired instead of mentally exhausted. I think that kind of work would change the way I experience my life.


My dream is to build something with my own hands. Maybe it’s furniture. Maybe it’s pottery. Maybe it’s restoring old houses. I want to finish each day able to point at something and say, “I made that.”


I’ve realized I don’t dream about climbing a ladder anymore. I dream about work that lets me be curious. I want every year to teach me something new instead of simply asking me to do more of the same.


I want to spend my days making things that help people feel a little less alone. I don’t know exactly what I’ll create yet, but I hope my work feels like leaving small lights along a path for someone else to find.
