A fulfilling career is not a fixed position to achieve. It's an ongoing journey, an endless path. If you try to hunker down at some seemingly stable position, then no matter how good things once were, they'll eventually crumble. The reason is that you can't continue to express your true self if you fail to honor the new desires you are constantly spawning. And it's impossible for you to avoid spawning new desires -- that happens automatically as a consequence of observing what you're getting.
This isn't just true for a fulfilling career but for other areas as well, such as your personal relationships.
Another way of saying the same thing is: Either you're growing or you're dying.
