WORK REVOLUTION:
DO WORK YOU CARE ABOUT!Rebels, Dreamers, World Changers, Impact Creators, Doers NEEDED.
The old way of building a career no long applies.
We’ve never had this many options for work and yet most of us do work we don’t care about.
Our work lives do not have to follow a path. But we have to take ownership and create the path we do want for ourselves.
Our world is the sum part of all of our contributions.
And our neglect. So…
WHAT WORLD DO YOU WANT TO LIVE IN?
MY
PHILOSOPHY…
We need a WORK REVOLUTION. BAD.
Screw the shoulds and supposed tos.
Forget what’s acceptable and respectable.
Disregard the gatekeepers and naysayers.
Demand more than the 3% raises and good enoughs.
WE, The People, Create the work.
So WE, The People, need to start expecting more of the places to which we give the MAJORITY OF OUR LIVES.
And, WE need to start EXPECTING MORE OF OURSELVES to create the life we want.
So…
HOW WILL YOU SPEND YOUR LIFE?
START HERE 👇
Your time is finite.
USE YOUR MORTALITY.
If today were your last day on Earth, would you die happy? Would you be fulfilled with the life you’ve lived?
Because if not, WTF are you doing with your life??
Our mortality is one of the BEST TOOLS we have to help us define what we want from our precious, limited time on this Earth. It’s not a morbid thought. It’s a fact we can use to our advantage.
We could wait for it to smack us in the face with tragedy to get our wake up call. A lot of us do. But why would you?
Do we need another 9/11, Kobe, Covid, George Floyd to remind us? Do we want to wait for a loved one to die, or a near death experience, or a health scare to force you into living?
Don’t waste that time. There’s too little of it.
Define
YOUR OWN SUCCESS.
What do you want out of life?
If your parents’, teachers’, media’s, society’s definitions weren’t forced on you… What would it mean TO YOU to be successful? What would YOUR SUCCESS look like? Feel like? Taste like? Smell like? Sound like?
What kind of person do you want to be? How would you spend your time? What impact would you have on the world and your fellow humans?
Define this in detail. With as much color and imagery and vision as you have right now. It’s ok to have gaps and question marks, but you can’t achieve what you don’t define. And we all need to spend more time defining all aspects of our lives that matter to us.
There is no RIGHT or WRONG.
But there is a RIGHT NOW.
Do not paralyze yourself with RIGHT and WRONG. It does not exist and you will overwhelm yourself into stagnation worrying about whether it does.
Focus on figuring out what you want right now.
How do you do that? Figure out what direction you want to head in.
And how do you do that?
There are
NO RULES
to living your life.
There is no one to live your life but you. So you have to decide how you want to live it. The rules for your life are yours to write. And if you don’t intentionally decide what these are, you’re giving up the power to guide your life.
The caveat is if you decide to enter an established domain… a school, a company, a bank, etc… and you want something from that domain, you have to understand how that domain operates.
There may be written and unwritten rules within that space, but just like any game, you have to know the rules before you can break them.
