I am a firm believer that your work should fill you up rather than deplete you.
You shouldn't feel emotionally drained and stressed more often than not.
Instead, work should be a passionate endeavor that, for the most part, adds joy and fulfillment to your life.
It should energize you and give you a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
I know, I know — maybe that sounds improbable and unrealistic. Work is work.
It's the thing you have to do to pay for what you need and get a few (or a lot) of the things you want.
