29. Success Doesn’t Mean Security
Manage episode 328430178 series 3236134
Building a life that you love, knowing that you’re making an impact to other people’s lives, is the true success that will provide you the true security.
EPISODE NOTESSuccess and security are two very different things. And if the pandemic taught us one thing, it is this - that security is nothing but an illusion.
In today’s podcast episode, we talked about how security in successful employment, is not a sure thing. Yes, you may be earning an income for your family and you may be upholding a certain caliber of lifestyle, but that doesn’t mean that your security, especially in employment, is ensured. Executives, even the high-level ones, were laid off from their jobs when companies were forced to close down because of the pandemic.
So let me share with you certain points today so that you can break down what security really is and what it means to you.
- How do you feel when you get up in the morning? Did you snooze the alarm again and just drag yourself around, unmotivated, no joy? Or are you so excited to leap out of bed that you don’t need an alarm anymore, so full of joy, excited to start your day?
- Are you just working for the paycheck? Or are you working for something bigger than you that just lights you up inside?
- Happiness, true joy, is found outside of your comfort zone. Are you comfortable where you are but nothing really excites you? What’s stopping you from pursuing something that you know will bring you so much joy?
- Can you feel that there’s an itch on you somehow? A certain knowing that you’re meant for more? That this is not all, and that you deserve more?
Key takeaway:
Success will not ensure security. Building a life that you love, knowing that you’re making an impact to other people’s lives, is the true success that will provide you the true security.
