A "successful career" that our culture elevates as a path that will be good for you doesn't always fulfill the needs in your life that you truly are seeking. Usually that path doesn't even give you the space to figure that out.
You end up in a situation where your desires don't match your environment and trying to get whatever you're truly missing takes abhorrent shapes.
- mattgreenrocks 4y agoGreat insight. There's no substitute for intrinsic motivation, and I've become more suspicious as I've gotten older of how business culture applies the "success" label over and over on stuff to entice people.
