Eric Siu explains that your job doesn't have to be your purpose. Instead, connect your work to something bigger, like providing for your family, to find motivation even when you dislike what you do.
Your purpose doesn't have to be your job either. Like, I often get caught in this trap. It's easy to say, like, you should feel so much purpose in the thing you're doing. Not everyone has that luxury, right? Like, I feel like I have that luxury now where I feel a real purpose with my work. Not everyone has that or can ever hope to have that. But you need to connect your purpose to your work. If your purpose is providing for your family, as an example, then have that purpose on your mind when you're going to work and when you're going to do the thing. Because even if you hate the thing you're doing, whatever it is, if you have that connected purpose with it, you're going to have a whole lot more energy showing up to whatever it is on a daily basis.
