58. Why what we DO for a living is the wrong thing to focus on

Published on: 7th April, 2023

I am someone with a lot to say about the school system and how it is ruining our educators and creating a generation of anxious teenagers.

This week, after presenting to a room full of year 11 students, I needed to get something off my chest.


Focusing on what we DO for a living in life, is the wrong thing to focus on.


Focusing on passing the exams and getting the grades to DO a particular role is the wrong thing to focus on.


Knowing that we want a change, but agonizing over what we want to change to, is the wrong thing to focus on.


We need to start asking ourselves better quality questions:


👉 who do we want to be?

👉 how do we want to feel?

👉 what lifestyle do we want to live?

👉 what do we want to be able to achieve?

👉 how much do we need to earn?

👉 how much time are we prepared to invest in order to earn it?


I have discovered that is doesn't matter WHAT I do... it doesn't matter HOW I earn money... it is what that money allows me to do, how that activity makes me feel, what lifestyle I am able to live...


...how I can fulfil my purpose... THAT is what is important.


THAT should be our focus.
