I’ve been thinking about dream career changes – and actually, a lot of the time when I let my mind wander to what could be, it becomes more than just the job itself.

I've been looking for a career that will bring me happiness, value, a useful role in life. But that happiness and value of myself has to first come from me. So it's time to take a pause and get back to basics. Time to take responsibility for my own happiness and my well-being rather than looking for it OUT THERE. More
