Key Takeaways:


Arbejdsglæde. A word that refers to happiness at work that only exists in the Scandinavian language.


Doing something that you used to love brings back that work-life-blend.


50% of happiness at work is the defined environment you're in, the job you're working, and the people you work with. On the other hand, 50% of it comes from your own head and your attitude towards that role.


Heartfulness is doing something that you personally love and doing something for somebody else like fundraising or charity. Both are deeply rewarding.


A job is something that you do and gets something in exchange.


Career is a job that you're passionate about and that you really love.


Vocation is a calling, a divine invitation.


 
Action Steps:


Change your emotional soundtrack


Reconnect with something you used to love


Regain autonomy or control


Look at things differently


Determine what motivates or inspires you

"The things that I love to do that have nothing to do with work make me feel more balanced. And doing something for someone else takes you entirely out of yourself".
 
"Even if we talk about looking for the elusive work-life-blend, it's still true that work can dominate".
