Don't Compromise What You Love

I advise my fellow sign language interpreters to only accept jobs that they will love.

We only get paid 30 minutes each way to travel, but in Houston, sometimes it takes you an hour and a half to get to a job that's on the other side of town.

So, we go into scarcity mode.

We think we have to take every job because there's not going to be enough work.

But then you're driving across town (with a long drive time) . By the time you arrive to the job, you're angry and resentful, and you may not do as good of a job.

Don't compromise on what you would love.

Especially if it's going to make you angry and resentful. That's not good for you and it's not good for others.

Where in your life are you becoming angry because you're doing something that is detrimental to your happiness?

Let's cut that out and focus on things that create more happiness in our life.

I hope you have an amazing day!
