Can you still remember when, days before graduation, you’re dreamy about how you could change the part of your world?
But then, just a few months into the workforce, you realize that systems are already in place. If you are unfortunate, you might be under systems that eat you up until you bow down to it. That, or find someplace else that won’t lead you to compromise.
Perhaps, your primary motivation to work is the need to put food on the table. And in the process, it squelches your desire to contribute to the change you want to achieve.
Since my undergraduate studies almost six years ago, my priorities have shifted from one thing to another. I wanted to change so many things, but then, things also changed.
If you’re like me, you’ll find this quote I highlighted from my current read relatable:
You spend more than half your life at work. And you want your work to make an impact and have a purpose, to be more than just a salary. You want to make it count.
But that keeps getting lost. You know you could be doing more work that’s meaningful for you and useful for your organization—yet somehow all the other stuff keeps getting in the way.
Do More Great Work: Stop the Busywork. Start the Work That Matters.
