It’s a time for Giving Well!
- My $80K/year job doesn’t interest me nor does it utilize my skills and talents
- I’m feeling very unfulfilled, like I’m letting my family down, like I could be doing something so much better, making a much better contribution.
- Should I work on my weaknesses or focus on my strengths?
- I’m a framing carpenter and believe me, it’s not a passion of mine but just a way to pay the bills.
