Outgrow your job-shaped assumptions

Revisado: 10-14-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Paul's story invites us to challenge our assumptions about the push to get a 'good job' even when the work is unsatisfying. Who are we to think we could invest time working at something satisfying? Paul pushes on these questions by speaking from experience: "We tell ourselves that we should be grateful for our circumstances. We focus on the material outcomes that a good job provides. We identify more with our possessions than our selves. Deep down, we know it’s a lie. We have one life. Why spend it doing things you don’t want to do?"

With that question ringing in our ears, Paul declares his mission: "I want to see people live the lives they are capable of, not just the lives they think they are allowed to live.” By sharing details of his decision making and his process of discovering work that is enlivening to him, Paul encourages us to see where our "job-shaped assumptions" limit the possibilities of our lives.

Paul admits there is no prescription and that each person's path is unique. In addition to sparking a touch of good-natured envy, Paul's message leaves us inspired.
