A term in German that means “essence” or “thus and no other.” I interpret this as knowing who you are.

This article is an interesting one: it talks about the importance of purpose. I know for me, nothing is more motivating than wholeheartedly believing in the importance of what I do. During my career, when situations seemed futile, indifferent to my efforts, or beyond my ability to impact, I would look to do something different and change my role.

As this article says in the end “I am still a little terrified. But one thing I am not is bored.”
