Measuring your self-worth with your profession

The most pernicious belief of the Urban millennial is how much of their self-worth is derived entirely from their profession.

I find this thinking interesting because people spiral in this rut. The greatest mental health ‘hack’ to learn, is to undo this age-old attitude. You are more than your work. You got to have passions, hobbies, and things outside of what you do. A life lived in the pursuit of a sole job that puts money in the table, is a life half lived. 

It’s also why we breed boring mono-dimensional creatures who can talk about one thing and one thing only. The smartest minds wear multiple hats, and are leaders in their space. Theny conquer their field and diversify; it’s what makes them interesting.
