Is Your Job Just The Big Fat LIE You Keep Telling Yourself?
(Are you too busy making a living to have a LIFE?)
There’s a version of life that’s not so relentless.
It took me far too many long years in soul sucking corporate life to realize that, followed by a good few years working in a business I created that one day left me laying naked on the floor with a suspected heart attack.
More of that later, but for now, tell me something.
Did you actually decide one day to do what you now do for a living? Or did you just kind of fall into it?
For me, it was definitely the latter.
After coming out of the R.A.F, I just sort of drifted into sales and then on into sales management and then to senior management in good old corporate life.
You know the sort of thing, right? Leaving for work before the kids are awake and arriving home after flying a desk all day, with the kids having already gone to bed. Missing their childhood pretty much.
This is the trap that literally millions of us fall into. We call it LIFE.
But it’s not life is it? At least not one that you imagined when you set out into the big wide world of making a living.
