His advice was simple, but it was the wake-up call I needed. I wasn’t living my life according to what I truly wanted. I was following a script I thought I should be following.
A Shift in Perspective
That brief conversation shifted everything for me. For the first time in a long while, I realized that career fulfillment doesn’t come from external markers like job titles or salary. It comes from doing what resonates with your true self.
The man didn’t offer a step-by-step guide or any secret formula for success. He just reminded me that my work should bring me joy, not just a paycheck.
