Are you someone who struggles with finding a career that fits you? Or are you someone who feels content and happy in your current role?
More often than not, most people will answer yes to the first question.
How do you decide on a path forward? The answer is that it depends.
What is it that humans genuinely desire?
The answer I keep coming up with through reading and research is a sense of belonging, the ability to grow and master a skill or idea, and lastly, autonomy.
How do we build a sense of belonging?
By nurturing relationships with others
We feel lonely when we do not have someone to witness our lives. If you have at least one person who is there to listen and give you feedback, you should be okay. Listening to others and being the person who provides that feedback will also help you meet this requirement.
How do we master a skill?
Through deliberate practice
I am a classically trained musician. Mastering a skill requires two types of skills. The first is the ability to experience flow. The second is the ability to experience clutch focus reliably.
How do we experience autonomy?
By building capital to spend on a given investment
The more you invest, the more options and autonomy you will experience. For example, I invested deeply in learning how to code. This gave me financial independence because I was able to get a well-paying job.
