The opposite of a job is a purpose.
You’re never controlled, manipulated or cajoled into it.
Your rewards are wealth beyond money.
You can never be fired, laid off or retrenched.
You don’t take it for the money, or because your partner wanted it or it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Your purpose has an unrelenting relationship with the truth, a crucible for your character that challenges and develops you into a way of being.
Your job has metrics and kpi’s.
Your job consumes energy. Your purpose creates energy.
Your job has competitors. Your purpose has collaborative co-creators.
Your job is full of jargon. Your purpose is full of truth.
Your job consumes time. Your purpose stretches time.
Job? No thanks. Purpose? Yeah, I’ll find one of those.
