What do you Really do?

11/28/2020

 

JOB VACANCY

When we are asked
‘what do you do?’,
we often give a response
based on a job.

I am in retail.
I’m in banking.
I work on the ambulance.
I’m a teacher.

Or maybe, I’m unemployed.
I’m looking for work.
I’m building my business.
I’m at college.

The world has conditioned us
to define what we do,
by the job we do.
Our perceived economic value.

But this is not what we do.
This is simply the role
that others assign to us
or we give to ourselves.

So, go beyond the two
or three word title, and think
‘What do you do?
At home?

With your family?
With your colleagues or friends?
In your community?
In all your activities?

In your creativity?
In your gentleness?
In your conversations?
In your hopes and plans?’

Next time someone asks,
Have your answer ready
and tell them,
what you really do.
