COUNT DOWN OF 50 OF THE BEST LIFE HACKS/MARGINAL GAINS FOR A BETTER FUTURE SELF #42


#42. Drive from Your Life Style


For so many people, life makes more sense when they find a job where they can spend more time in their values and matches what they want their life style to be.

If you don’t like to travel, then don’t choose a job that requires a lot of travel.

If you don’t want to work crazy hours, then don’t choose a job where a crazy schedule comes with the territory and is the nature of the beast.

It’s easy to fall into the trap of chasing the idea that the grass is greener, or that the glory of the job is worth it, or that climbing the ladder will make life so much better.

Then reality hits.

Going up the ladder, doesn’t necessarily mean spending more time doing what you love.

Going up the ladder, doesn’t mean life gets better or easier.

In fact, it often means more sacrifice and more responsibility that you might not want at this point in your life. 

Worse, it might mean you spend a lot less time doing what you love and spending a lot less time in your strengths.

Be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it.
