Career choices can be some of the most challenging decisions many of us will face. Choosing a career path, changing fields, or leaving your current position are all decisions that naturally impact your day to day life. Don’t let the magnitude of such choices intimidate you. What if we told you that there is no “best” or “right” choice? This TED talk by Ruth Chang addresses that very idea:
“When we choose between options that are on a par, we can do something really rather remarkable. We can put our very selves behind an option. Here’s where I stand. Here’s who I am. I am for banking. I am for chocolate donuts. This response in hard choices is a rational response, but it’s not dictated by reasons given to us. Rather, it’s supported by reasons created by us. When we create reasons for ourselves to become this kind of person rather than that, we wholeheartedly become the people that we are. You might say that we become the authors of our own lives.”
What can you get behind? What kind of person do you want to be? Watch the video and think about it!
