Choosing a Career
FABLES FOR OUR GRANDCHILDREN
READING TIME: 1 minute
When choosing a career, being “valued by society” is not a worthy goal. Anything that determines your value from outside yourself is a manipulative trap. It fosters comparison, scorekeeping, competition, greed, and more.
I have another approach to offer. It’s pretty simple, really.
List the things you enjoy or that interest you.
Learn the associated skills related to each of those things.
Practice. Gain as much mastery as you can.
Fill your tool belt with the skills associated with the ideas and things you love.
There you go. All that fun is your job now.
Remember, be valued by you, rather than society - by whatever metrics you choose.
I love you,
Granny
