Life's most dangerous question by Joshua reveals Melbourne. What do you do? This is the first question we are strangers on the surface. I cannot query when we ask each other every day, a servile forward. Nicety we utter so we have something anything to talk about The majority of the answers are boring, sound bite, his replies. We are standing by the ready, prefer the next dinner party or networking event. I am a director of operations, I am a regional manager. I am the senior vice president of who gives us. What do you do good? For you truth be told we regurgitate these can answers because easy to repeat trance like in semi, conscious over and over and over again. Nor wants to talk about them

find a job ad nauseam, but it sure is easy to state your name rank and serial number, it's easy to prove you're, a cog in the wheel or a rung on the ladder just like everyone else is much harder. However, to talk about other, more important aspects of life, so satisfying more worthwhile discussions, we go about our days, providing lifeless answers to his life was question or collective? Sk set to repeat, must think about this question as such a broad sailing inquiry, any answer would suffice. What do I do? I do a lot of things. I drink water I eat food. I write. Sloppily onto a little yellow legal pads. What he's railways cheap gold plating, however, you'll find a series of irksome inquisitions lurking beneath the surface, sadly, were actually asking only positive malaria question, albeit unknowingly, is how do you how a paycheck, how much money do you make? What is your socio economic, your and based on our status. Where do I fall on the Socio economic louder compared to you? Am I wrong

of you below you. How should I judge you? Are you worth my time There is a better way to answer this dangerous query, though, by changing the question altogether, the nice time, someone asked what you do. Try this, don't give them your job title instead tell them what you are passionate about and then change course by asking them what they are passionate about. What do you do? Ass, the stranger I'm passion about writing or raw, climbing or sailing, or input accounting? You say followed by what are you passion about at this point? Likely get one of three responses. Number one, a blank stare number to the person will tell you there also passionate about Ex wires II, and the conversation will view are often more heartfelt, russian or three. The stranger will attempt to recite the job title to which you can respond. That's great! So your passion by Jacques Eventual both discuss the things you enjoy instead of the jobs you don't. I practices exercise during my last year, the corporate world, how we remove the importance of my job title for my life and open,

you have to discussing with others my passion for writing an impressive job title, but it didn't make me happy it in full. Fill me now. I'm more fulfilled pursue my dream than by any title. Think of this shift is changing and now into a verb. Instead of giving people a title, I e a box to put you in Let them know what you enjoy doing, what you are passionate about and then discover what they enjoy. The commerce or more for do something. Far more interesting and you'll learn more about each other than your silly job. Titles. What is your mission? You were not meant to do any one thing for the rest of your life, yet this idea, birthright passion, is promulgated throughout our society, throw the internet particular as if each person as a pre ordained vocation he or she must pursue, as if evolution, natural selection or whatever has been thousands of years plotting and finds a you can be a writer, yogurt teacher

nor an astronaut life doesn't contain these absolutes. No one has a predetermined destiny. No one has a singular pre existing passion waiting to be uncover. There are dozens, even hundreds of things you can do with your life work. You can be happy and passionate about. Hence follow your passion. His advice was important. Consider, then, is this question. What is my mission? Many of us go through life working a job or worse, a career. We become accustomed to a particular lifestyle, a lifestyle that involves too much spending personal debt and consumer purchases, our own personalize version of the american dream, then we get stuck on the corporate ladder before we know it. We're too high up to climb back down so high up, even looking down to the terrifying proposition, so we keep soldiering forward onward and upward without ever asking the important questions.

There's nothing inherently wrong with working a job. We all have to keep the lights on. However, when we travel too far from living a deliberate life and we stop asking difficult questions, we stop feeling fulfilled like your passion, your mission is not pre existing and it's not always easy to find or pursue. When you find something anything you're passionate about you make it your life's mission, you will find great joy wars and the work you do otherwise you're just earning a paycheck too much branding these days by Joshua feels member. There is a difference between a brand and brandy, Mcdonald's, Johnson, Johnson, in Walmart our brands and you, if you're a creator of something can also be a brand. The difference between a corporation is a brand and you the brand

is the corporations. Primary objective is, by definition, to make money you, on the other hand, nein bear profits as your main objective. If you, the maker, concern, principally with earning money by creating something, and yet you pretend that something is being made to benefit the greater good, then your part will reek of insincerity, pretence and disingenuousness. This is commonplace for corporations sohmer, so we ve come to expected in their advertisements. We know their fundamental goal. Is money, for example, have ever believed a corporation truly understands you? I certainly haven't not as an adult, at least, but that I regarded as true that certain musicians, authors or artists, understand me as a person. There is often a connection between me, the artist and her work. This doesn't mean

products device for profit aren't useful. They often are. It simply means people won't find the same connection with that product as they do with the literature, music or art work. They love for the main objective of these personal works, isn't typically financial in nature. It is to develop a connection with other human beings when making money is damaged, driver for what you create your branding carefully, composing your image neurotic considering your demographic and obsessively tweaking your good or service to fit customer base there's nothing wrong with our any money. I simply prefer for it to result from what I write, not the other way around. I found when I'm honest, open and add value to other people's lives. People are willing to support my work whenever they given the opportunity.
