Most people think career growth comes from working harder. I agree that sometimes it does. Even though i believe its relative But after a certain point, everyone around you is working hard too. What separates people isn't effort. It's value. I would be asking what is value if i were you.

Before long, we’re living in a constant state of reaction, not intention. We wake up worn out, work endlessly, scroll to escape, and call it “life”. But it’s not life. It’s survival.
