What is your “mission” in work and life?


What is your “mission” in work and life?

Here are a few I care about (derived from a combination of systems thinking and motivation theory):

1. Help create equalizing feedback loops (break cycles of "the rich get richer")

2. Help people fulfill their potential

3. Help people defer gratification when it's good for them.

Software and tech are just one way of accomplishing those types of goals.

Two things drive me:

[1] - I'm lazy. Just like mother nature, I seek out the path of least resistance. It drives my boss crazy because I openly proclaim it, but it often leads to better/efficient ways of doing things.

[2] - I live and breathe somewhere well outside the box. I have crazy ideas and have the talent and ambition to execute them. https://theunorthodoxy.com

I foster my relationship with a person whom I know not to exist, who is the source of the hallucinatory Light, beloved of mystics. I do this by making others' happiness more important than my own; this has the paradoxical effect of making me very happy indeed, because happiness is the reward of the work of love.

Work - make money to survive and hopefully retire.

Life - other than surviving, I'm not sure. Maybe find pleasure in the little things.

To enable others to have to access to software for creating ideas. Mainly those that don't know SW, and also going into biz later, because software is the first wall.

Slow and methodical, not fast and frantic.

Remove everything until the most functional aspects remain.

Decoration is crime.
