Your values, your actual values, are what you do, not what you say that you like because it sounded good on the internet.

- psv1 7y agoI think that's used in a completely different context.
- jacobroyquebec 7y agoI see your point and I have not made it clear in my post; I actually follow these values in all other parts of my life; I cut back on my possessions (lots of sales and gifts), take exclusively public transport, eat vegan and (mostly) local, always favour low-tech, package free buys and responsible companies, etc. My job is the complete opposite, which I want to fix.
- psv1 7y agoSo how does being vegan and taking public transport contradict with being a software developer? I really think that you're approaching this backwards if you decide "this is the values that I follow" and then try to change every aspect of your life to fit that vision.
- jacobroyquebec 7y agoMy thought process while adapting my life are more akin to this : I felt disconnected and unhappy -> found those principles/values that seem to make people more happy (who were in the same situation as me) -> tried them, felt much more happy and fulfilled than before -> try to apply it to other areas.
