This article, presented in a personal essay format, explores the author's struggle with equating self-worth to career success.
The author recounts their experience of prioritizing career aspirations from a young age, driven by a desire to "add value to the world." This pursuit, however, led to feelings of unfulfillment, prompting introspection into the true meaning of fulfilling work.
The author challenges the popular notion of "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life," highlighting the unrealistic expectations it sets. Comparing their own experiences with peers who seemingly love their jobs further exacerbates the author's feelings of inadequacy.
The essay concludes by acknowledging the need to redefine personal value beyond career achievements, suggesting a broader perspective on finding meaning and purpose in life.
