We often identify ourselves by what we do for a living. So much so that it is one of the first questions you ask someone when we first meet them. For some the answer to that question is easy. It was for me when I was in the Army or when I was a cop. But other times my title was not as impressive as I would have liked. So security guard became "contract security" or unemployed became "student". We don't want to be seen as having a lesser profession, we fluff our resume for our own vanity.
What if we looked at it differently? What if we did not identify ourselves by our occupation? What if we used some other areas of our lives to title ourselves? Could we answer the "what do you do" question with where our passion lies, not with where our paycheck comes from?
If I said I'm a husband and father would that be enough or would you still want to know where my money comes from?
What do you do?
