Job and careers are important. Obviously, that’s one of the reasons that I do what I do!
Employment can influence status, belonging, health, and quality of life. As a result, many of us attach our identities to our job titles or salaries. Cut the toxic attachment! You are more than your job title. Your worth is not determined by your compensation package. Remember to keep the main thing the main thing:
- Build your career around your life.
- You deserve a job that fills your heart, mind, and wallet.
- Define success on your own terms.
- Success is not a singular act or a single destination.
- You can have your cupcake and eat it too.
NOTE: You are the main thing!
