Hi, Jon - excellent post on a very important topic.

I liked everything you had to say, but the thing that really struck me as key was your first point:  "Do the work", because you slip that thing in about finding your purpose.

Too often, we seem to be heavily engaged in doing the work without pondering why we are doing it or if the work we are so wrapped up in is what we ought to be placing our energy toward.  I remember early in my career trying hard to be a "good trooper", so I would accept all assignments without much in the way of questions, put my head down, and charge forward.

Good reminder that it's not just about doing, but about being, dare I say, mindful about what we are doing:)

John
