4. Dare to ask yourself if it's worth it. If you can't find the part of your job that you like, or if you can see yourself turning into the person you said you would never be, consider the reasons. It may not be a new job that you need, just a new direction. Do you like the person you are doing this job? If not, are there changes you can make to the way you do your job or is the job itself the problem? Do you need to be doing a different position within the same company? Are additional responsibilities taking you away from the work you were hired to do? Maybe all that's needed is some refocusing. Learn to say no. As much as you can choose the things you spend your time on, don't attend events or meetings only because everyone expects it.

Asking yourself why you do your job doesn't mean you're dissatisfied, just self-aware. This awareness1 can lead to greater job satisfaction, increased sense of well being and a little more control over what you do, rather than just going along for the ride. For some, it may be time for a change if so, don't be afraid of it. Change isn't necessarily bad, it's just different. For the rest of us, take a look around, you may find you've got a great view.

Take a look at your life. How would you describe it? Contented2? Rushed? Exciting? Stressful? Moving forward? Holding back? For many of us it's all of the above at times. There are things we dream of doing one day, there are things we wish we could forget. In the Bible, it says that Jesus came to make all things new. What would your life look like if you could start over with a clean slate3?

（续）4. 敢于问自己是不是值得。假如你不可以在工作中找到有兴趣的部分，或者你看到自己正在转变为你永远都不想成为的那种人，那样考虑考虑缘由。可能你需要的不是一份新工作，而是一个新的方向。你喜欢工作时的那个自己吗？假如不喜欢，你能否改变一下我们的工作办法，还是工作本身存在问题？你是不是需要在这个公司调换一下职位？是不是由于承担额外的责任而脱离了本职工作？可能所有需要的就是重新定向。掌握说不。尽可能选择做那些你应该花浪费时间间的工作，而不要由于别的人的需要就去做其他事情或参加别的会议。

问问自己为什么你做这项工作并不意味着你对它不认可，而是做到自知之明。这种意识可以使你获得更大的工作认可度，增加自我满足的程度，更好地把握我们的工作，而不止是随波逐流。对有的人来讲，可能是改变的时候了假如如此，不要害怕。改变可能不是坏事，只不过不同而已。而对于别的人，环顾四周，你会发现风景这边独好。

审视一下我们的生活。你如何描述它呢？满足？匆忙？刺激？紧迫？前进？还是后退？对很多人来讲，生活常常都是以上所有些情形。有的事情大家梦想着有一天可以去做，而有的事情大家期望可以忘却。圣经上说，耶稣使所有焕然一新。假如你以新的姿态重新开始，你的生活会是什么样的呢？ （完）
