Because your work will never be fulfilling

When you were just starting out, you thought your work would give you some of the most fulfilling moments of your life.

When you take a moment, now, to think about the most fulfilling moments of your life so far, you think of many things.

You think of the moment you met your livelong lover.

You think of the moment you looked out over mountaintops stretching as far as the eye could see.

You think of the moment you finally began that difficult conversation with your father.

You think of the moment your child was born.

You don’t think of work at all.
