I’m just reading an old Fast Company article titled “What Should I Do With My Life?“  by Po Bronson (who actually also is the author of a book titled the exact same way). He adresses one of my favorite subjects that buzzes in my head since last year, namely “Do what you love”, the search for a fulfilled and rewarding “work”-life and the ever present question “Do I really want to do this the rest of my life?”.

I listened to the life stories of more than 900 people who have dared to be honest with themselves. Of those, I chose 70 to spend considerable time with in order to learn how they did it.

The shortest route to the good life involves building the confidence that you can live happily within your means (whatever the means provided by the choices that are truly acceptable to you turn out to be). It’s scary to imagine living on less. But embracing your dreams is surprisingly liberating. Instilled with a sense of purpose, your spending habits naturally reorganize, because you discover that you need less.

Really recommendable read if your thoughts are spinning around this topic like mine do.
