kayqyEarlier today I got linked to this blog post about how to tell if you're doing your life's work:
"If you are not doing your life’s work, you will feel perfectly comfortable. [....] In order to get anywhere in life, you need to be uncomfortable constantly."
'Brilliant!' I thought. "Yes, that's exactly how it should be!"
Five hours later, my family tried to convince me to pursue a particular career that I've practically given up on, and I more or less freaked out.
Apparently it's much easier to agree with when it's theoretical. >.>
