Find Your Thing
The average person will spend 90,000 hours at work - over a third of our adult lives. And that’s before you factor in working late, checking emails at the weekend or the brain space work takes up when we’re not officially logged in.
That’s a lot of hours right? It’s the majority of the time we spend awake. It’s more than the amount of time we get to spend with our kids or our friends, and probably significantly more than we have to invest in our hobbies or passions.
Which begs the question: if so many of us are spending so much time at work, shouldn’t we be making sure work is working for us? Shouldn’t we be searching for a career that feels purposeful and meaningful, that supports our wider goals of joy and freedom, instead of settling for a job that is at best “fine” and at worst makes us completely miserable?
