• what brings you to what you do?
• did you end-up choosing your career / lifestyle or did it just gradually happen?
• how do your skills fit in?
• what interests do you have?
• what are some of the things you like (i.e. hobbies)?
• what types of places do you like?
• what makes you happy?
• what would you want to do?
• where would you like to go?
• what is the core of your career?
• what do you contribute?
• what is the Big Picture of what you do?
• how does what you do make a difference in other people's lives?
• what is the essence of what you do right now?
• what represents [love, happiness, fun, peacefulness, family, success, etc.] to you?

Your career is the greatest investment you can make in yourself. When you are happy in your job, you see positive results in everything around you, from finances to relationships to personal health. So why stay stuck in the current situation if it doesn't completely suit who you are inside?
