Choosing Your Career from a list

The "one-size-fits-all"

The best type of work a person can have is not always a white-collar, office-based, management and technology-oriented.

The one-size-fits-all definition of success fails to take into account the unique gifts and talents people have and try to force them all into the same mold. Love growing in your gifts, and we'll all benefit when you do.

Waiting for Financial Independence

Everything has an opportunity cost. To choose to invest time in one thing means deciding not to invest time in all the other things. It can mean missing the gains you could have been making in the direction you really wanted to go. Pursuing any calling comes with risk. When there's uncertainty, there will always be some risk.

The Perfect Retirement

The myth of a perfect retirement is based on the belief that our biggest need that drives us in life is an income. In reality:

  • We have a need for a purpose. Without it, our life becomes dull and meaningless.
  • Productive work is the 'glue' that helps hold our life together. Limitless leisure can lead us to become bored and unengaged.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.
