Chances are you spend most of your waking hours at work. Does this time leave you happy, energized and fulfilled? If you answered "Yes!" you've probably found the kind of work that reflects your passion and values. If you're not quite able to answer so enthusiastically, don't lose heart. There is no time like the present to begin exploring what truly matters to you, uncover and dust off the dream you may have forgotten, and discover how to reach it. Close your eyes for a second and imagine how that would feel; what it would look like; how your life would be different, better. Inspired yet?
There are many resources to help you on this journey -- you just need to select the right ones for you. Imagine you're planning a trip to another country for the first time. A good guidebook with lots of great tips, advice and country-specific information from people who have first-hand knowledge and expertise may make all the difference in how your travels turn out (and maybe even whether you make it to your planned destination!). The same holds true in your search for a fulfilling career. Finding valuable, high quality tools and resources such as career development books, articles, websites and counselors will help you choose where you want to go and how to get there from here. To help you get started, try one of my favorite resources: What Color is Your Parachute by Richard Bolles.
