Your Best Work Is Still To Come
Every day you get better
My outlook to work has changed since I left corporate culture and struck out on my own.
In the corporate world I felt I was in a race against time. Was I climbing the ladder quick enough? What if someone younger than me leap-frogged me?
To try to progress, I looked externally. What did my boss want? What did the company want? How could I play the politics better?
It was exhausting, and depressing.
Now, I believe my best work is yet to come, and always will be (until I decide to stop working) because everything I choose to work on teaches me lessons, sparks new ideas, improves me… instead of all the benefit going to “the firm”.
Try thinking less about jumping through external hoops, and more about discovering what gets the best from you.
