I saw a man standing on a rooftop in Santorini last week, painting it white.
Sunshine. That view. A paintbrush and a purpose.
And for a moment I genuinely thought - is he the one who has got it right?
It made me think about the question I come back to again and again, for myself and for the women I work with.
Are you in your best job right now? Are you working towards it? Or are you quietly questioning what comes next?
There is no wrong answer. But there is something important in knowing which one is true for you.
Here are three simple questions to help you find out.
One. Does your work fit who you are becoming, not just who you were when you took the job? We change. Our careers do not always keep up.
Two. When you imagine doing what you do for another five years, do you feel energised or quietly deflated? That feeling is information. Do not ignore it.
Three. Is there something you keep coming back to - a skill, an idea, a version of yourself - that your current work does not have room for? That pull is worth paying attention to.
You do not need to blow everything up to find your best work. Sometimes it is a pivot, not a leap. Sometimes it is a conversation you have been putting off. Sometimes it is simply giving yourself permission to want something different.
The man on the rooftop may have the best job in the world. Or he may be dreaming of something else entirely while he paints.
Only he knows.
What about you - are you in it, working towards it, or ready to question what is next? I would love to know.
