Most people need to work. Without winning a lottery or inheriting a fortune, the only solution is work.
We work and trade that work for money. We then exchange the money for happiness and fulfillment.
We can work for minimum wage or we can learn skills to work for higher wages.
We can work to create what others value to earn more money.
We can work at things we enjoy or we can work at things we don’t enjoy.
Life is finding the optimum work and type of work that creates value we can trade for happiness.
Find work where you are willing to put the effort in. The more fulfillment you get out of work the more effort you can put in.
Find work that is valued so you are compensated more for the effort you put in.
Always evaluate and adapt to maximize the value you receive, and the fulfillment you get out of work.
