About this Quote

This quote by Thomas Moore speaks to the importance of finding significant work that resonates with one's inner self. It recommends that the best work is not simply a job, but a method of connecting with one's real function in life. It is a way of discovering and expressing one's soul on the planet. It is a method of connecting with something larger than oneself, something that brings a sense of satisfaction and pleasure. Discovering the best work is not practically making money or accomplishing success, but about discovering a way to express one's real self and make a significant contribution to the world. It is a method of getting in touch with one's innermost being and finding a method to bring that out into the world.
