Living from the Inside Out

Posted in Paths to Bliss at 3:37 pm

Slow Leadership has a great post about how to take stock of what makes you happy and how to try and bring that to your job.

Most people make decisions about their life and work based on what is generally considered “right” and “good.” This is living from the outside in: letting others people’s expectations, rule your life. You do what you do because that’s what you have been told to do. It’s a good recipe for frustration and stress. Living from the inside out means finding your own innermost values and basing all choices on those. That’s the best way to increase your happiness with whatever you do for a living.
