“This is your life; your work will fill a large percentage of it. Its not all about the money; its about you. Ignore the propaganda, especially from people who say, Dont let your work define you. Reverse this message and mediate on it: I will do work that defines me. When the essence of who you are defines at least some slice of the work you do for a living, that work generates fulfillment.”
