I had dinner the other night with one of my dearest and closest friends. We were sharing about the various trials and tribulations each of us has had in our jobs over the past few months. There are times when we both wonder if we should search for that "greener" pasture someplace else. The reality is that each of us has been quite successful in our respective niche ares of information technology. Most people would be quite pleased with the benefits and compensation each of us receives. "What is the problem?", you ask. Call it boredom, lack of challenge or whatever you want. Truth be told, things aren't as new and exciting as they once were. Ultimately, I suggested that maybe we're both trying to gain too much of our life worth or meaning from our jobs. Maybe during this stage we should look for our "fulfillment" in our young families, our hobbies, educational pursuits, and most importantly our relationship with Jesus Christ. In the midst of the day to day challenges it can be difficult to remember this. To steal somebody else's overused phrase, we're looking for "life" in all the wrong places. Does anybody else have any words of wisdom on this?
