Losing the Work You Love
by Cathy Goodwin

Modern career planning encourages us to think of a "life purpose" that shapes and gives meaning to our lives. People speak of feeling called to a career or job -- a sense of vocation. And, these days, they speak of losing what they searched so hard to find.

Sometimes a vocation can be taken away: a job is lost or a market disappears.

Often, however, people feel no external push out the door. They just realize, sadly, that they no longer love what they are doing. Or they no longer believe their work has value. And, they ask, what next?

Losing a vocation is not the same as "burning out." Burnout, a well-defined psychological condition, results when people feel they are giving more to their work than they are getting back. They begin to see clients as ungrateful and undeserving.

Burnout requires healing: deeper personal relationships, creativity, and time off. A lost vocation cannot be healed. It may return in a different form but people must recognize that it is a real loss that will be grieved.

There is no simple formula for dealing with the lost vocation, but I suggest these four steps.

First, not everyone experiences severe grief symptoms -- sleeplessness, self-destructive actions, loss of appetite -- but if you do, see a licensed therapist or grief counselor.

Second, when you are ready, introduce new actions and activities into your life. In the early stages, do not worry about finding a new vocation. Just begin to act.

Third, honor what you lost. A part of you will always reside there. A dancer-turned-business-student uses the discipline or dance to excel in her studies. A teacher-turned-flight attendant can handle restless passengers.

Fourth, realize you have a wonderful gift: the capacity to find meaning in life and work. Begin working towards a new future, realizing that one day you will be caught up in a new adventure. Your new vocation will come as a surprise, perhaps when you give up looking. It won't be the same but you will feel rewarded, happy, fulfilled and stronger.

Most of the arguments to which I am a party fall somewhat short of being impressive, owing to the fact that neither I nor my opponent knows what we are talking about.
