# Why should you abandon your career path? 1. The people in engineering are not role models. 2. Our clients are not people in my community. 3. I've learned what I can learn from it. 4. The types of solutions we produce are ones that this world has too many of. Industrial automation goes against the yearnings in my heart - to dignify labor. 5. You don’t really need a reason to quit a job. 6. The work does not embody the Gospel from head-to-toe and I really need a voice in my work life that is seeking this. 7. My muscles are atrophying. I'm becoming pigeonholed. I'm becoming a bugman. I hate this. My soul yearns for more. # God wants me. How does he want me? - He wants me to be close to him and hear him. - He wants me to be strong and healthy. - He wants me to be wise. - He wants me to be helpful to those around me. - He doesn't want me to be a bugman. - He doesn't want me to be isolated. - He doesn't want me to be a dullard. - He doesn't want me to solve _all_ of the world's problems. Only He can do that. What problems are around me that I _can_ take on? What are _my_ problems that I can solve? I often say that "I don't have problems, only those around me do"... but then again I also overcame some problems. ### What did I overcome? - A PMO addiction - ### What am I yet to overcome? - Finding purpose and meaning - Being able to focus and stay attentive - Speaking truthfully and tactfully
