Off Campus accidentally

Off Campus accidentally made the best case of why your job might be the best case of why your job might not be the problem. Spoiler alert. Spoiler alert 🚨 If you haven't watched it yet, go watch it right now because it's so good and then come back and watch this video. When I watched the scene where Garrett questions if he ever wants to play hockey again, it got me thinking why a lot of us question our careers multiple times in our life. But then I remembered psychologically, motivation comes from two sources. Belmont Cameli, the man you are, what did God put in your ingredients? There's intrinsic motivation. INTRINSIC MOTIVATION because you genuinely love it. EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION when you do something for external validation. INTRINSIC MOTIVATION, EXTRINSIC MOTIVATION, money, approval, and the pressure of others. Garrett played hockey since he was a wee boy and he was good at it. But the reason why he was doing it because his dad Phil was pushing him towards it. Every time Garrett messed up, including getting into a crazy fistfight on the ice, his dad Phil would make a call, pull strings, which meant Garrett would never earn his wins and would never sit with his losses. And that's what extrinsic motivation does to your psyche. Robs you of the feedback loop that makes something feel like it's yours. It leads you to resenting that career path and then feeling guilty because you're not grateful for it, looking good on paper. And the scene when Garrett questions if he actually loves hockey, and Hannah points out, you literally could be doing anything else after being suspended for four games. So you you're not even playing hockey yet, you're still skating around on the ice after hours. He actually does have intrinsic motivation. He's doing it even though no one's watching. There's no reward. Realize he didn't need to change career paths is that he needed to remove the thing contaminating his relationship with hockey, which was this piece of sh!t, his dad Phil. When you get into that questioning spiral, asking yourself, am I falling out of love with my career? Ask yourself this: Am I just clouded or exhausted by the external conditions around it? And what would you do if no one was watching? No title, no validation. That's the version of your career worth rebuilding around.
