Monday Morning Essentials: Your Ordinary Job Matters
Can we talk about the lie that you should "follow your passion" and "find work you love so much it doesn't feel like work"?
This advice, while well-meaning, has left millions of people feeling like failures for having regular jobs that pay the bills, provide stability, and leave them with energy for the things they actually love—like their families, hobbies, and simple evening routines.
Not everyone is meant to monetize their passion. Not everyone's calling is their career. And there's absolutely nothing wrong with having a job that's just... a job.
Your work matters, even if it's not your "dream job." Especially if it's not your dream job.
