It's
not unusual to get stuck in a career before understanding what best suits your
personality. Someone thought you were a good fit for a particular job; an
opportunity opened up, and that's been your career. Integrity is compromised at
the point of knowing that something else would have been better but that too many
obligations exist to risk changing.
Those who endure these situations
often come to retirement feeling compromised. Who you are and what you want is often
in conflict with what you have to do. However integrity is invigorated by
finding meaningful life purposes beyond a career. Choosing to serve God in ways
that utilize your gifts and talents prevent lapsing into sadness or even despair.
Believing
that God's provides opportunities insures you can feel confident rather than languish
in frustration. A clear conscience, fostered by integrity and combined with hope,
gives energy for doing what God provides. Listen to Proverbs 2:6: "The
Lord gives wisdom and from his mouth come knowledge and understanding." These
blessings make life worth living.
