I've worked 22 years & feel like I have nothing to show for it
On this personal episode, i share how I've worked for 22 years & yet feel like I have nothing to show for it. I basically reflected on my last 22 years work history.
I talked about the financial obligations, surviving & comparisons that seem to drown out my efforts in building meaningful wealth over the years. I find myself playing the comparison game to other people on social media (Linkedin particularly) which often leaves me wondering if i am making any progress at all.
I also talked about the financial obligations I have as an African immigrant to support my community back in home in Africa and also how parenting and raising children can have a huge impact on how much wealth one is able to build. I talked about how i have been able to redefine success for myself, i do not measure my success by how fat my bank account is but by how much I've been able to support others/help them actualize their dreams.
Surviving is something that comes hand in hand with being an adult, because even though my current 9-5 job doesn't fulfill me, i have to keep grinding and striving at it because it is the source of my daily sustenance. And instead try to find hobbies or other interests (e.g. podcasting & YouTube) that can give me a sense of purpose.
This episode is loaded with so much insights and advice for anyone who is in a similar situation.This episode is for anyone who is curious or who is working at a job for many years and wondering how to navigate dissatisfaction or disappointment in their career and seeking some kind of solace or get some kind of encouragement. Hope you enjoyed this episode.
