Take a leap of faith. Figure out what you need to do to reach the point you want to reach. Consider being a "wide achiever" instead of a "high achiever. Grow where planted. Step away from the things that drain you. Make sure that you can support yourself. Find a circle of support.
If you want to find fulfilling work, you need to take the first step into the world or uncertainty. Try not to over-think things and drive yourself to the point of anxiety. Instead, take a deep breath and plunge right in. "Thinking" is one thing, but "doing" is an entirely different beast. If you really want to find fulfilling work, you need to reach a point at which you choose to progress from thought to action. You might have a specific job in mind, but if you're like most people, you will start the process with a general goal in mind instead of a specific position. As such, you need to figure out the steps you need to take to achieve that goal as effectively as possible. Research ideas. Check out general career search websites, social media websites like LinkedIn, and blogs or other websites related to the field you are interested in pursuing. Look at the job titles, positions, and job descriptions of people who actually have jobs within the field. Doing so can help you set a more definite goal about the work you want to do. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/b\/bd\/Find-Fulfilling-Work-Step-07Bullet01.jpg\/v4-460px-Find-Fulfilling-Work-Step-07Bullet01.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/b\/bd\/Find-Fulfilling-Work-Step-07Bullet01.jpg\/aid3872686-v4-728px-Find-Fulfilling-Work-Step-07Bullet01.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"546","licensing":"<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>License: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/">Creative Commons<\/a><br>

<\/p><\/div>"} " If you are still uncertain about what your final goals are, pursue a few paths at a time. Instead of focusing all your energy into becoming a high achiever in one field, become an achiever in multiple fields and multiple passions. This is when freelance work, part-time work, and volunteer work really shine. Take on small side jobs that can satisfy multiple interests, especially if you cannot narrow your interests down to just one. The downside of this tactic is that it brings with it less job security. If you are not prepared to balance your time accordingly and adhere to a strict budget that includes a hefty savings for when times get tough, you might want to stick with one full-time job after all. Chances are high that you will not immediately find yourself doing the perfect type of fulfilling work you want to be doing. Instead of treating your current circumstances as a bother, look for ways to grow even in less than ideal conditions. Settle temporarily when needed. You might know what you want to do but have yet to find a job opportunity that will allow you to do it. If this is the case, settle for something less than perfect until the right opportunity comes along. Do not look at your present job as something you will be stuck doing indefinitely; instead, look at it as one more necessary step you need to take to secure a happy future. Have an attitude of gratitude. Even if your current job does not bring you much fulfillment, you should still take time to appreciate the things in your life that you can be thankful for. The more time you spend focusing on the positives instead of the negatives, the easier it will be to tolerate your current job before you can move along to something better. If something about your life is draining you of energy and joy, be brave and leave it behind you. If your life in unbalanced and unhappiness reigns, you will not have the energy to do your search for fulfilling work any justice. Living your dream is a decent enough goal, but if you reach a point at which you can no longer afford food and shelter, you might find your dream quickly turning into a nightmare. Make sure that you can provide for your own basic needs. Live simply. Re-prioritize your life. Maybe you have always lived comfortably, have never needed to worry about your budget, and have been able to take a vacation twice a year for every year of your life. Many of the comforts and luxuries you have enjoyed up until now are just thatluxuries. If you find the perfect job or know the path you need to take to reach it, but it does not provide you with enough financial support to live the life you've been enjoying, ask yourself if your luxuries are more important or if the type of fulfillment you presently seek will make you happier. If the latter is your answer, simplify the way you live. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/e\/e1\/Find-Fulfilling-Work-Step-11Bullet01.jpg\/v4-460px-Find-Fulfilling-Work-Step-11Bullet01.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/e\/e1\/Find-Fulfilling-Work-Step-11Bullet01.jpg\/aid3872686-v4-728px-Find-Fulfilling-Work-Step-11Bullet01.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"546","licensing":"<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>License: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/">Creative Commons<\/a><br>

<\/p><\/div>"} The path to fulfilling work is a bumpy one, and it is often easy to give into despair. Supportive family, friends, and colleagues make the process easier because they can cheer you on when you can no longer cheer yourself on. Family and friends often make the strongest support groups, but in some cases, well-intentioned loved ones can push you away from what you love and toward work that will be less fulfilling but more secure. If this is the case, you should try to find other colleagues or peers who can be more supportive. Having less of an investment in your happiness on a personal level may make those who do not know you quite as well less likely to worry over the risks you'll be taking. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/f\/f9\/Find-Fulfilling-Work-Step-12Bullet01.jpg\/v4-460px-Find-Fulfilling-Work-Step-12Bullet01.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/f\/f9\/Find-Fulfilling-Work-Step-12Bullet01.jpg\/aid3872686-v4-728px-Find-Fulfilling-Work-Step-12Bullet01.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":"728","bigHeight":"546","licensing":"<div class="mw-parser-output"><p>License: <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/">Creative Commons<\/a><br>
