Yeah. The myth of meaningful work does more harm than good.

Plenty of people find meaning in work. They enjoy it and would do it even if they won the lottery. If that's you, then that's great.

But that will never be the cade for me. I serve organizations with missions I am proud to support. I work with reasonably smart, dedicated people. I am paid a decent amount. The work is sometimes challenging and fun. I am a consultant, so I can set my own hours.

But on any given day, I would rather do anything other than work. Go for a walk. Watch TV. Read a book. See friends.

And that's okay.
