And Why Our Job Security is an Illusion
“you shouldn't confuse doing good work with being safe.” - it’s a hard pill to swallow but it’s true!
Good work is like roots.
But roots alone don’t protect you from storms.
You need branches that reach beyond one company.
I always think back on this quote:
“As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.” - Audrey Hepburn
Using both of my hands to help others fundamentally meant I wouldn’t be able to help myself in my own times of need.
For me to help the most people, I need to help myself first.
Powerful reminder.
Things are never as certain as they seem.
Continually building ourselves is the only way towards security. It’s not something others can provide us.
This is such a great reminder. It’s painful, but also freeing. Real security comes from within.
