Be careful not to let your occupation become your identity.
Make sure there is more to who you are than what you do.
Life is unpredictable.
Your outer life can change in a single moment.
Everything you have worked for can be lost or taken from you in the blink of an eye.
If your identity is based entirely on what kind of work you do, if you can no longer do it, you will be lost.
You must, therefore, develop your inner life as much or more than your outer life, for your inner life is with you regardless of your occupation, location, or status.
YOUR INNER LIFE
