Today’s sign might be the most subtle of all:

You hit a big milestone at work - closed the deal, led the project, got the recognition.
Everyone’s congratulating you.

Your boss is really happy with you.

And all you can think is: "Cool… I guess?"

You’re not ungrateful.
You’re not lazy.
But instead of pride, you feel… nothing.

Or worse, you feel like you’ve just gotten better at something you don’t even care about.

This can be a jarring feeling, especially if you're used to pushing yourself hard.

But here’s the truth:

Real career fulfillment comes when your achievements align with what matters to you.

And sometimes, what mattered to you five years ago… doesn’t anymore.
Especially after big life changes like becoming a parent.

A couple questions to reflect on today:

When’s the last time you felt genuine pride in your work?

What kind of success actually feels meaningful to you now?

If you're realizing the gap between what you’re achieving and what you care about is widening, you’re not alone.

That’s exactly the kind of insight the Career MRI is designed to uncover. No fluff, just clarity.

Cheering you on,
Dan
