Your values may be different enough that you need to acknowledge that being yourself and doing what's important with your life requires being more or less alone. Fighting the value system around you might be what you need to do with your life. Your job isn't necessarily what you want to be doing with your life. It's just a way of surviving so that you can tackle more important things. And if you’re not lucky enough to find like-minded people to surround yourself with?

Being in a good place around good people greatly increases my happiness - part of why I'm in the blogosphere. One exercise I often use with clients is a values identification matrix. Email me if you want to try it and I'll dig out a copy for you. Basically, you come up with 15-20 things that are important to you, from chocolate to family to self-actualization, and rank them. Because whatever job you get, if it doesn't allow you to express a few of your top five values, it's going to be a hard slog.<br/><br/>Cheers,<br/>Joanna Go, Braidwood!
