Try to remind yourself that your job is not a place you go so that you can make money, to buy stuff, so you need more money, to buy more stuff. Don’t let anyone label you a “consumer” you are a human damn it! When people ask “what do you do” tell them “I ride my bike, I like to climb trees, I laugh with my friends, I like to splash in the rain” Tell them what it is that you “do” not how you make money.
Confucius once said “Pick a job you love, and you will never work a day in your life.”
