The depths of one's being

There's a French phrase "Aller au fond de soi-même" which means "to go to the depths of one's being."

That's what the process of career assessment should be - a dive to the depths of one's being. There are those career assessment tools where you can take a quiz online and get a quick and dirty answer about what you should do with your life.

I've never met a lawyer for whom the quick and dirty answer was sufficient. The process of career change, transition, or enhancement is an in-depth enterprise. There's a defined process to it, but it's in-depth.

When were you last at the depths of your being? If you're frustrated with your career, then it's time to go there again.
