When I only see the meaning after it is gone

Looking back, there were whole stretches when this work really did feel meaningful — I just never noticed it while I was living it. I only see it now, in the rearview mirror, long after it passed. And it worries me that I might be doing the same thing right now with meaning that's sitting right in front of me.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You only recognize meaningful work long after it's gone, and fear you're missing it again.

If this sounds familiar, the Library can help you find the bigger picture.
