Are you keeping to your mission?

When you're able to choose the job you want to do, what will you choose to do? I've recently been doing jobs that in hindsight, I could have done without. Of course I enjoy getting paid for it, but it's almost as if I'm doing it just for the money.

This isn't true, of course, because these are jobs that I'm rather suited to (there probably isn't anyone who can translate Dewa Sanzan Yamabushi things as well as I can, given time constraints of course, with enough time a good translator will be able to, but I've got a lot of experience that people don't have that they'd need to have a basic understanding of to be able to do an effective translation).

But, I have a mission, to help more and more people through Yamabushi training, and these tasks are only loosely related.

ENJOYED THIS? HAVE MORE.
