When is it time to do something different?

It’s actually very simple – when your focus follows your passion, and that passion is not on the work at hand

Going back to a previous post, if the nirvanic job is one where your incredible passion matches the emerging needs of the organization, then the counter to that is that if your passion can’t be geared to something meaningful at your current place of employment, it’s time to go elsewhere.

The serenity prayer says:

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference.

The nirvana prayer says:

God match my passion to the needs of the organization, and if not, show me a clear path in following that passion to a hunger that can be fed.

There are perfect passions that don’t fit the needs of the organization.

There are also perfect needs without the passions needed to fill them.

Nirvana is certainly where the passion fits the needs.

And unfortunately that is rare.

Follow your passion.

My guess is your passion will guide you to that need!
