Your unit of measurement

“No work is beneath me.”

The funny thing about this quote is the unit of measurement.

Normally, the unit is determined by peers, culture, gurus… pressures. External pressures. Pressures that have nothing to do with you, your desires, your enjoyment, your life.

Where things get good are when you choose your own unit of measurement.

Then, you can be doing something ‘beneath’ for someone else, and love life.

Then, you can be doing something ‘above’ for someone else, yet still hate it.

The best thing we can do with a career is remember to choose our own unit for measuring our lives.

Nobody else cares. They only ever look to compare themselves, as a salve to their own insecurities.
