To Achieve Emotional Health W ork consumes so much of our lives that we have to question sometimes whether we are married to our jobs. Indeed, we often spend more time with our colleagues at work than we spend with our families and friends. Work is a reflection of what we are able to do in the world.
Work can feel exciting and challenging.
If our work is wrong for us, it can be a source of endless frustration and unhappiness for us and those in our lives. The nature of work is changing in our world today. It used to be that one wage earner could provide for a family, buy a house and car, and accumulate a good pension and savings account. We used to believe that landing a good corporate or government job was the route to a good life, but that former reality has now become a myth as corporations and governments downsize. Statistics indicate that the average person must now expect to change jobs several times throughout a career.
