It didn’t start out this way.
But you are finding yourself
punching a clock
Or
Going through the motions,
More often than not,
Or just sometimes.

We started out with passion; wanting to make a difference in the world.
Over the years, our work world and career trajectory has been rerouted if you will.

The winds have shifted,
And it now feels as though the impact the early you wanted to make
Has been replaced with some sort of game we are all playing,
Trying to race to some finish line,
Earning more points for finishing ahead of everyone else –
And we are
Wondering what the race is even for…

You started off after one thing,
And find yourself heading towards another.

By learning of conventional understandings of business, culture,
We are able to discover some fallacies that have informed this corporate ‘drive,’
Replacing the dreams and joy of the early career days
When we were connected to our gifts and making a difference.

We can observe how modern and not so modern technology have shaped
And transformed not only our perspectives
But expectations as well.

A look at what an inward journey may look like for you,
Coupled with observations on the world we know,

We can look to reconstruct our understandings
Beyond conventional expectations
And begin to reconnect,
Return to that commonality between
The work you get to do
And the fulfillment you can choose.
