Finding the right job is beyond a salary and a place to spend our Mondays to Fridays. It’s serious life business because it shapes the trajectory of our lives. Let’s talk about it…

We spend more waking hours at work than anywhere else. The role we take isnโt just a line on our CVs. It will affect our mood, our confidence and impact our mental wellbeing. If youโve ever had a job that drained you, or are currently in one, you know exactly what I mean. This is why cultural fit, meaningful work, and healthy leadership matter.

That long drive to work, those late nights, the stress that spills over…yebo, our job touches ๐๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ฒ relationship we have (family, friends and with ourselves). So when you choose to decline an offer, or negotiate for flexibility, youโre not being ‘picky’. No. Youโre advocating for the life you want to live. Kudos to you!

A job is not just exchanging labour for income. In any role, we are investing our time, energy, and expertise. And like any good investment, it should give you a return – not just in money, but in growth, opportunity, and alignment with who you are becoming.
So, taking clear and intentional career moves is a step towards choosing the tone of our mornings and in the long run, crafting the future we desire to build.
If this resonates with you, share it with someone who needs the reminder๐.
Psalm 90:12 “Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”
