THE WORK OF YOUR WHOLE LIFE People often come to me with the request: “help me find the work of your whole life.” I propose to find out if this is possible. For me, “the work of my whole life” is, first of all, what I love. A favorite activity will be loved when the basic values ​​of a person are realized in it. For example, such a value as “freedom” can be realized in entrepreneurial or creative activities. And such a value as “security” is found in employment in a large corporation. What he loves will be his favorite thing when he sees personal meaning in what he does. What he loves will be his favorite when it reflects his interests. Values, meaning of life and interests change throughout life. Especially interests. But even the meaning of life and values ​​are not forever. What was important at 18 can cause an ironic smile at 40. Changes are inevitable. Even if the person doesn’t want them). And it is almost impossible to predict which way these changes will go. Sometimes a chance meeting can change your worldview. Therefore, we can talk about the choice of “Life’s Work” conditionally. For some period of time. Especially among young people who are choosing a profession for the first time. Their worldview is still unstable; it largely depends on other people. And there will be changes. Therefore, you can plan for about 5-7 years, and then conduct a revision of values ​​and look for a new “THE WORK OF YOUR WHOLE LIFE”. Perhaps it will be the same thing, but with a different meaning. Therefore, if it is the fear that you will change your mind later that stops you in finding your calling, don’t doubt it – YOU WILL DEFINITELY CHANGE YOUR MIND. This is normal and natural. Internal changes occur, life situations change. If everything remains the same, it is worth thinking about your ability to adapt. I was once interested in child psychology, then scientific psychology, and I taught and wrote a dissertation; now I am interested in psychotherapy and career counseling. And this is not forever. I'm in the same field, but from different sides. This will allow you to develop and not lose interest in what you do. I wish the same for you)
