Love the Tetris analogy for status! Was just talking to someone about how he can’t “win” at blood pressure - it’s not the higher the number the better it’s just staying in the middle that you have to strive for and that’s so unnatural for him when everything else is more more more.
Another good litmus test for whether you're in the right place is, do I enjoy the people that this job/career puts me around? If not, it's okay to admit that you're simply in the wrong place.
This is great advice. I'm going to keep this post in mind to share with younger folks.
Is this a post copied over from somewhere else? This is the only reason I can think of why it hasn't had any likes or comments up to now, because this is a brilliant guide for direction.
I believe that we have to be as perceptive as possible when it comes to the things we spend time with. Is this really what we consider important? Is this building towards a future we would like?
Some of the saddest biographies are those of people who invested their life in something they did not care about in hindsight - doubly so if they were blinded by the lure of status or money.
Our income simply is a means to an end. We should concentrate to earn enough to have a roof over our heads, our bellies full of good food and being able to afford the occasional indulgence - all while spending as much time as possible on the projects we really care about.

Love this.

Will be sharing this with my twenty- and thirty-something children. Very good insight.
