ok

I hear what you are saying - I think.

But my problem is that I don't know exactly who I am and finding a job which matches that is difficult. Plus I feel I will change in the future and so become someone different. So I am looking for a job which is me and also which can be me in the future.

What do I feel I sacrifice - well everything and nothing. Job's dictate so much I feel they influence everything and so nothing is left untouched. Even things like self esteem etc.

I guess I don't want my purpose in life to be just my job.

What colour is my Parachute (Score: 1)

I think I would make my parachute Sky coloured and compare how realistic it was!

I couldn't agree more with what you write.
I too look to help people form a mission in their lives.
However finding your own mission is always the hardest and constantly changing. Especially for me since my perfect mission would have an element of mystery. I don't want to know what is around the corner, I want to be able to let my life go where 'the cloud goes'.

I guess I see my life restricting the access God has in my life. I have most of my day planned and many of the weekends and so the input God has is now....well....scheduled for Sunday morning!

I know that last statement is not entirely true but can you get the feel of what I'm saying. I want to allow God control of my life but realistically what does that mean? I feel I am putting God into a smaller and smaller box until I wake up one day and wonder where I put the box and have no idea what happened to the last 20 years where my life was essentially work. (Please take with a pinch of salt)

So what do I sacrifice with my work - Me (everything)

So is work what it is all about? Is that my mission? Should it be my mission?
