Getting paid to become more of who we want to be. The intentional act of translating our work into life. It is when the job pays us not just in dollars, but in development. Every role contains skills that, if noticed and applied beyond the paycheck, contribute to the parts of our lives where no one is paying us. To the extent we align the skills of our work to the needs of our relationships, values, and purpose, we are getting paid to practice life.
