I've had a recurring thought lately, and it had to do with questioning some of the decisions I make. In choosing how I live life and the choices I have to make in the near future, do I constantly try to answer and live up to others' expectations?
So it had me thinking that in my ideal career, I hope I don't ever make that compromise. We get so engulfed in finding success, whatever that might be — a stable but predictable job? Moving up at a big company? — that we answer to others and not ourselves.
The point is, if something is off and I don't align with the bigger picture then I know I won't be at my best. I'll always be looking for the right fit when it comes to values. I'm also 100% happy with who I am now; I see things differently than most people and I definitely have my faults. But I have a better idea of where I'd like to be, and that's all that matters.
I'll end off with my favourite quote of the movie:
"I'm bad, and that's good. I'll never be good and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me." - Wreck-It Ralph
