Anna Havron gives us more interesting food for thought in Don’t Hold a Job, Hold an Office Instead:
What if you thought of your jobs and your roles in life as offices, where you make vows or affirm an oath of office?
What would your code of conduct be?
To whom, or to what, would you be loyal?
To whom, or to what, would you be accountable?
Odd-Egil “Oddzthrash” Auran Great read. I might want to combine @annahavron ’s suggestion with @toddgrotenhuis ’ Ikigai principles. I’m currently not very good at this.
For a life-giving oath, the ends do not justify the means. For a deadly oath, it’s the opposite: anything goes, as long as it is “loyal” to the leader or the cause.
Something to ponder in regards to the current US political climate.
Odd-Egil “Oddzthrash” Auran Yes, I thought so too. I think I ought to be more deliberate about things as my time gets shorter.
💬 John Philpin I love the idea of Ikigai … but have you ever tried really applying it to yourself?
I have.
It’s really hard
Odd-Egil “Oddzthrash” Auran @JohnPhilpin I imagine it will be, especially as I’m easily adapting to changing surroundings. But the core beliefs about one self and the place in the continuum should be able to be resilient. But, as you said, it’s hard.
Odd-Egil “Oddzthrash” Auran @frostedechoes I stumble upon this problem a lot, so I should have that be a part of my ikigai.
💬 John Philpin @frostedechoes any variation on the 80% allowed … assuming not 20%?
