This is such an incredible truth. I feel like this idea of identifying with your job or career is such an opportunity to teach youth. That is, life comprises so many facets, and yet most of us get sucked into spending most of our time on one facet, work. Learning to live life in a manner in which you're living what makes you feel most harmonious, while doing work (to live life) is a teachable opportunity.
Marvelous point. We need to add this thinking into what we teach young people. Less 'what do you want to be when you grow up' and more 'who do you want to be.'
Age and jobs due have a time stamp for many with them or others making the decision. May be best to have a mind-set that is always ready for change and not get caught up in the numbers but keep smiling and find your way and pray that there is also help in the form of relationships built over years and a vision that allows for that type of change! Not easy just life ;)

Ancient wisdom still true today. Thank you for that reminder Shyam.
