Getting paid to practice life beats working to get paid.
In the context of work, whoever signs my paycheck
is going to pay me to become more effective.
Effectiveness is synonymous with happiness
in terms of getting what I want.
Happiness is being happy with what I did
and how the results turned out.
My overwhelming experience is that
when I’ve been effective,
doing the right thing, not doing things right,
I don’t give two shits about the results.
Consequently, I’m happy.
Regardless of what any given job is,
there’s an abstract of that skill in your personal life.
Whoever signs your paycheck
is going to pay you
to get better at that skill.
You have the opportunity to become
a more effective human
and can translate that effectiveness
to where you DON’T get paid.
Getting paid to practice to be more effective
in our lives that we pay for, beats working.
Where are you getting paid to practice?
