> I'm not satisfied at work

I feel this somewhat but I’ve realized it’s somewhat seasonal and more a matter of perspective.

I’ve had good times and bad times at work and they just come and go. During the good times I double down on my work. I put in more because I get more out. During the bad times I focus on personal projects. I do the job as a professional but don’t waste time trying to knock it out of the park when I know I won’t.

I just look for fulfillment where it comes naturally and don’t try to squeeze it out where it doesn’t.

Well said, well balanced.
