You have a natural propensity for work.
There’s something in you that wants to be productive, contribute and make a difference.
It’s embedded in your DNA.
Work however has evolved to value productivity over humanity.
People don’t leave companies, people leave people.
When the work environment no longer becomes bearable, it chips away at your soul –
Because as much as you’d like to believe you’re a machine, the reality is, you’re not, you’re human.
You can’t take humanity out of your work and expect things to be ok.
Meet your targets and tick off your KPI’s – but what good is it if you lose yourself in the process.
What good is it, if you lose your most talented because you’ve essentially crushed their spirit.
You weren’t created to be a machine – so don’t pretend to be one.
It’s not about taking the easy road, because it’s the struggle that builds resilience.
You should always do everything you can, but never more.
Understand your limitations and the expectations placed on you.
Life is not a transaction –
We are not in the business of buying and selling people’s souls.
Robbing individuals of their humanity.
Sure, work is important.
The ability to earn and provide is important.
But what shall it profit a man, if he gains the whole world, yet suffers the loss of his soul.
