“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

- Mark Twain

The concept of finding ‘fulfilling’ work has exploded over recent years. With an increasingly connected world and more people sharing how they’ve managed to curate the work-life balance of their dreams, it’s no wonder more of us are sitting down to reflect on how work fits into our lives.

Ideas around work are continually changing. From entrepreneurs, start-ups, portfolio careerists, and the more traditional pathways still holding strong, getting started with your career and what you want to do with your life has never been more complex.

We’re told to ‘follow our passions’ in order to start building the type of career that brings us meaning, purpose, and fulfillment. On the surface, this is good advice: doing the things you’re passionate about can only lead to more good, right?
