PATH MOTIVATOR
#10
Do what you love but don’t let your career choices jeopardize anyone you love. Including yourself. Translation: Take care of others but don’t forget to take care of yourself, sometimes before others. Listen to our airline flight attendants: “Put your own oxygen mask on first before assisting others with their masks.”
QUICK
STORY BEFORE PICKING A CAREER PATH
Do what you
love but don’t jeopardize anyone you love.
Including yourself.
Recognize
and assess the risks in every major decision you make, and how they affect
those around you.
When
I left the full-time practice of law to teach, I was single and had no
children. Would I have made such a
career transition if I had a spouse and two kids at the time? I’d like to think so because in the end,
career satisfaction is one key to personal fulfillment. Some opportunities are rare and don’t come
around often. The difficult part is
learning whether to jump at or pass on an adventure when your responsibilities
require the support of those around you, and dictate a closer look at the risk
and reward.
