The key to finding deeply fulfilling work is to do something in alignment with your core values. I’m not just referring to values in the moral sense of right and wrong. I am also referring to the sense of doing what you truly love to do–that which is of intrinsic worth to you personally.
When we honor our personal core values consistently, we experience fulfillment. When we don’t we are incongruent and are more likely to escape into bad habits and regress into childish behavior to lift ourselves.
