Guest Posts: Reflections on ‘The Art of Work’
Trying to find your calling? Maybe you need to listen and ask the right questions…

I’ve been thinking about this idea of calling lately. Finding your passion. Adding value to those around you. Impacting the world through your unique gifts.
But all of that takes a lot of time and a lot of work. It can be mind-boggling and throw us into a frenzy. In reality, we really need to slow down and do two things — listen and ask questions.
I had the honor of writing two guest posts this week for 300 Words a Day — an amazing blog from my friend, Jon Swanson. I recently read “The Art of Work” by Jeff Goins, and Jon asked me to write two separate reflections on the book and my experience reading it.
The first is a general reflection on the book itself. Here you go:
The second is a personal reflection on the main idea I pulled from the book. Check it out here:
Also, please do yourself a favor and sign up for email updates from 300 Words a Day. I have been inspired by Jon’s daily posts, and they’ve become a part of my regular routine. For more information about his blog, visit the 300 Words a Day home page.
