The Secret to Satisfying Work

The?level of satisfaction you feel in your work is directly proportional to the degree to which your work is aligned with your superpowers.?
And inching in the direction of developing and using your superpowers more and more is how?you increase your satisfaction (and dare I say, joy)?in your work!
People often come to me because they are hungry to figure out the work they're meant to do.? They worked hard to get where they are but it still feels like something is missing.???
Can you relate?? ?
Sometimes this shows up as boredom simmering beneath the surface of day-to-day life.? Other times it's intense restlessness that permeates the corners of your life.??Or worse yet,?it's?the quiet despair that?comes from doing work that was never yours to do in the first place.?
The good news is that there is a definite path to get you moving from:
Boredom to....Engagement?
Restlessness to....Flow
Despair to...Meaningful,?Joyful Contribution.
The key is found in knowing and leveraging your superpowers.
Think of your superpowers as an invisible boat streaming across the water.??
You can't see the boat, but?you can see the?waves generated by the boat as it moves through the water.? These waves are like?bumps in energy, engagement, joy, flow, satisfaction, and ease.?

As you pay attention to and analyze where these "bumps" happen,?you can begin to identify the skills you're using when these "bumps" happen.?
And these skills, the very ones that are often invisible to you yet result in your highest levels of energy and engagement, are your superpowers in action.??
