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