For anyone struggling career or purpose-wise, I have a diagnostic for you.
I believe one of the biggest problems in the world is ___________, which is why I’m ____________.
Are you happy with your answer?
In my opinion, most people are struggling because they can’t fill out this sentence in a way that they respect. Or—even worse—they can’t fill it out at all.
Many are working in crushing 9-5 jobs that destroy the soul, make them dread Mondays, and that don’t fill in this sentence in a satisfactory way.
My advice to you is simple.
Find a way to write this sentence for yourself.
Once you’ve found your sentence, you’ve then found a molten core for a thriving career. And not just your career, but maybe your life as well.
Everything builds off of how you are useful to the world.
