\u201cSo you were born to feel \u2018nice\u2019? Instead of doing things and experiencing them? Don\u2019t you see the plants, the birds, the ants and spiders and bees going about their individual tasks, putting the world in order, as best they can? And you\u2019re not willing to do your job as a human being? Why aren\u2019t you running to do what your nature demands?\u201d\n\u2014 Marcus Aurelius\n\nOne of the toughest things in life is to work at a job we don\u2019t like. There are plenty of factors that can lead to job satisfaction. Many of them are outside of our control, but there are some that aren\u2019t, and those are the most important ones because they can lead to true job satisfaction, and maybe to finding your purpose in life.
