Most lawyers pressure themselves to always strive for success; their choice of career makes that clear. If you are the type of person who undergoes years of schooling, stressful tests, and a high-stakes career just to help others, you’re probably quite a go-getter. After years and years filled with ambition and yet-to-be-attained goals, you can be left feeling a little lost when it comes to your sense of purpose. Work can often become a day-in, day-out rhythm without much room for reflection.
