Searching for Meaningful Productivity
Yesterday I wrote about how I chose a career in real estate. With that decision, I did not stop my search for a meaningful, productive life. Instead, this career has intensified my wrestling with what I want my life to do for this world.
First Question: “Why Real Estate?”
There are quite a few jobs in the world where I could be “fulfilled” in the way I grew up thinking work is supposed to be.
