The ancient adage, “Know Thyself,” comes to mind. There are layers and layers of some pretty good thoughts hiding in those two words.

I think Buddhists emphasize it is not just doing good work but finding and doing the right work for you. Selfless nose-to-the grindstone sacrifice for the good of others that does not fit who you are would be a kind of self-indentured slave’s masochistic spiritual suicide.

If what you are doing does not link to what makes you fulfilled and proud and happy, then I suggest you make a different choice as soon as you can. And I pray for you if you cannot.
