All effective job searches must always be an inside-out process — sorting out where your heart and skills are and then exploring opportunities to exercise your gifts instead of just casting about for jobs.
Understand that it is your job to maximize the contribution by ensuring that your gifts are in the best position to do the most good.
Ironically, once you realize this you will do things to protect your gift that you would never do for yourself. Like leave a job. Alternatively, to take a leap into a new opportunity, that on the surface, you have no apparent ability to pull off. Nevertheless, you know deep in your heart that it is something you have been preparing to do for your entire life.
