Why you need a great job
And what it is
So what?
Having a great job isn’t just about earning a living for yourself and your family – it’s a cornerstone for living a fulfilling life and having a happy family. It provides a sense of purpose as well as accomplishment along with boosting your wellbeing and self-esteem. A great job doesn’t feel like a daily grind when you’re passionate about your work. Instead, it is a source of motivation and inspiration. Your family is impacted as it creates a positive ripple effect and fosters a supportive environment to have a family. I see a great job giving you three main things which I’ve outlined below.
Pays what you’re worth
A great job recognises your true worth and pays well which is important for your overall wellbeing, family stability and personal fulfilment. Fair compensation validates your hard work and also provides you with a strong financial foundation. You can comfortably cover life outgoings as well as save for the future. This translates to having peace and allowing you to focus on your family which includes your family’s needs, education and experiences, paving the way for a bright and prosperous future.
Benefits and flexibility
Having work-life balance is only possible with your job’s benefits and flexibility. Having good benefits ensures that you and your family’s health and wellbeing are taken care of. Flexibility gives you the opportunity to be present for yourself and your family when you are needed the most. I see them as a lifeline that you can’t forgo.
Time and resources
Lastly, a great job tops it off by giving you time and resources to live the life you want. This is often overlooked and overshadowed by the above two. As important as the first two are, the last point allows you to craft a life that aligns with your dreams and values. It’s about your future.
