DON'T EXCHANGE IT

October 6, 2021

My wife met an old friend not long ago.

She's changed careers from what she's originally passionate about to something entirely different, absolutely not in line.

My wife asked why, and she said "this is what puts food on the table"

Why am I sharing this with you?

Have you exchanged your purpose in life for what "puts food on the table"?
Have you exchanged the work you were born to do for the work you're paid to do?

If you have done this, you may feel the early excitement that comes with earning big but such a feeling does not last.

Please, no matter what you do in life, do not exchange your life's purpose for survival. It's a great mistake.

What brings you fulfillment in life may not earn you much now but as you continue to grow and refine it, it'd eventually go up in value.

Nothing great starts great! Everything great starts small. Be comfortable doing things every day that brings you fulfillment and meaning.

Don't abandon the life of fulfillment, significance, and impact because it does not yet put food on the table.

Always remember, they can sack you from that job but no one can sack you from your purpose in life.

No one can take your purpose away from you.

I believe in you.
