There are many good reasons to practice mindfulness. But just because something is good doesn’t mean that the opposite of that thing isn’t also good.

I am gainfully employed in work that is meaningful and engaging, but I still find the question “what’s your dream job?” useful in orienting my short-term priorities and long-term goals. It helps me add zest to my work through tapping into my passions and dreams and it helps me determine how to most meaningfully spend my free time.
