There are many of us who have no life outside our job. We can’t live outside our job. That's why it feels like we’ve lost our life when we lose our job. We feel like we are no longer existing. We feel useless. This over-attachment poses a serious problem.
For some of us, our true purpose and destiny lie elsewhere, making our current job a wasteful pursuit of time and energy. Living a life devoid of meaning and purpose, merely earning a paycheck while struggling to meet our personal standards, raises a critical question— what are we truly living for?
It's essential to envision a life beyond a job-centric existence. While some of us may find fulfillment in careers aligned with our purpose, many merely work for the paycheck, which ultimately leads to a futile use of our precious time.
If this resonates, it's crucial to devise an exit strategy. Persisting in a job that doesn't align with your purpose means neglecting your true potential and squandering your life.
Here’s the point: life is not about a job, it is about purpose. So, every other thing you do in life must be connected to this one thing. Your purpose is at the center point of all your activities on earth. So, whatever you are doing must be connected to why that life exists on earth.
People who follow the usual routine of going to a job, coming back home tired, eating, watching TV, sleeping, waking up the following morning, and repeating the same cycle — if you are in such a situation and you have no plan for your future, then you should think again.
Doing a job should be temporary if it’s not connected to your purpose. And if it’s connected to your purpose, find a way to fulfill that purpose. You can’t keep working for somebody without working for yourself.
The meaning of life is far beyond getting a job. I understand if you are pursuing a financial goal and you need to get a job just to stabilize yourself financially. That’s fine, and it makes sense. But doing a job without an exit plan is a catastrophe which could harm your future.
To avoid such pitfalls, you must detach your identity from your job and refocus on your purpose. Life's essence lies in pursuing and fulfilling our purpose, not merely earning a living.
