Losing the Work You Love
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?

You also don't have to be a push over. Here are 5 things to consider to finish in first place without sacrificing good nature.

Great Ways To Stay Motivated At Work
Staying motivated at work is easier than you think when you know what to do. Motivation really is a question of strategy. When you know your personal motivation blueprint there is nothing you cannot do. It is easy to get caught up with non-urgent matters that you can either ignore completely or do at a later date. All that clutter leaves you confused about what to do so you end up procrastinating. It is very motivating to have a highly specific game plan that challenges you without leaving you overwhelmed.
