Because every minute spent doing something other than what you love most today is a minute you’re more likely to regret when you’re 80.
If you proceed to go to that job you hate everyday... don't put yourself into a position where you can look back at age 80 and regret the things you chose not to do.
Has exposure to certain people caused you to neglect what you value by adopting others' values through osmosis?
As our world is increasingly being pushed online, it does leave one curious as if it is harder to relate with others in the things we are looking to do in our career, as the locality of where we 'work' is essentially no longer bound by what places of work we are located near, as we can now work world-wide.. When one thinks in terms of what others do for a living nearby, in our increasingly corporation-running world, it makes sense how one can feel rather different for not partaking in this 'local' large economy. For example, in my local area there are two rather large mortgage companies where seemingly more and more of my connections are going to work, and yet, when I try to explain what it is I am working to do right now, it may not be as understandable. This is a by-product of the increasingly digitized age in which we live now, so it may be a common calling that individuals may feel ostracized to some extent for choosing to engage fully-online in their careers versus meeting physically in the office everyday.
With this increasing presence online, it is my belief that we are developing more of a sense of 'tribal' values which may make it harder to relate on a traditional local level. Hence, why there may be so much political polarization in our present-state.
To recognize you've reached your tipping point, periodically stop what you're doing to re-assess everything.
You will learn that it's not admirable to endlessly hustle with your head down. That's only commendable in the short-term. In the long term, it's a laziness — you’re riding the momentum of busywork, which blinds you to change.
