Why is "SO WHAT DO YOU DO?" the go-to question when meeting someone new?
Probably because…
70% of us see WORK as our purpose!
We've likely learned this idea from:
Older generations passing it down
College focusing solely on you getting a job
The challenge with WORK being our sole purpose:
Puts pressure on work to be perfect
Happiness is coming from 1 thing
Becomes our identity (that we can sometimes lose)
INSTEAD, what if we…
1) Started seeing ourselves as more than work:
Family, hobbies, entrepreneur, cook, reliable friend
2) Asked different questions to give others the opportunity to be more than their work:
"Do anything fun this weekend?"
"Have anything exciting coming up?"
You're so much more than your work.
So why not start living like you're?
