In reply to Jarrod Johnson. Yes, Jarrod it’s an unfortunate reality that we are often judged based on the type of work we do. However, there are many highly paid people who are miserable in their careers and lives. So income has no connection to satisfaction or contentment.

Adam – Great post! I definitely agree with the point you made about the misconception of working to assume our place in society. Think about when you meet someone for the first time and they ask you “What do you do?” They immediately draw inferences about your socio-economic status, your place in society, and even whether or not they care to continue the conversation all because of a short answer to a simple question. Dan Miller of 48 Days has a great alternative to this question. Instead of “What do you do?”, he recommends asking “How are you making a difference in the world?” Now that definitely goes beyond simply explaining your job.

In reply to Dianne Drinkard. Thanks Dianne, I’m thrilled to hear you know who you want to serve. Start with the clues you have and you will find they lead you in the right direction. Yes, we can’t forget The Lord in this process either.

Great post, Adam, and great question! I think I know who I want to serve….those who need answers for why their bodies fail them, and those who are searching for those answers and treatments. I just wish I knew how to do this, but I may have a clue…you have to start somewhere, right? And let’s not forget our Lord, who has given us each a purpose. Aligning with and fulfilling that purpose gives us great satisfaction and joy!

Adam, good thoughts here. I think as I mature, I’m definitely becoming less about me and more about finding ways to help others. Thanks for the reminder
