Embracing life through work

Remember I’d read this quote when I was just starting out with my work life. Had noted it down and just chanced upon it again.

I know it’s a bit extreme as a thought. As years go by, I’ve started believing in this much lesser. I would give anything for my first company to succeed. That’s the psyche a lot of us enter our first jobs with. Don’t remember but I think this is why I’d noted down the quote.

One toxic manager and one startup that is crooked later, you get derailed. You think you need to value your work lesser in the context of the larger life.

But it doesn’t give me happiness. I think I’m too much of a Type A, to ever be in a place where I feel I’m not doing enough of what I want to do, with my career.

Life can be embraced through work. It just doesn’t need to stop within the confines of your job and company. I’ll try to be more like the fresher me.
