♣︎12 The Answer to the Challenge

"Changing jobs has crossed my mind,
but I don't feel like it's the right time yet..."

The childcare planner answered calmly to the dad who said this.

"You're getting stuck because you're trying to think about work, family, and the future all at once. So, the first thing to do is
not to 'make a decision.'"

1. Protecting your current life
2. The feeling that you want to change things
3. The example you want to set for your children

"Many people try to think about these three things at once. However, let's think about these three things separately."

"That's why only the big question of 'whether to change jobs or not' remains in your head."

The planner continued.

"But in reality, these three things have different roles."

1 is financial and life stability,
2 is the direction of your career,
3 is your outlook on life and values.

"If you think about them while they are all mixed up, everything feels heavy."

"Once you can see the line for protecting your life, you can think about your career as
'options.'"

"And the example you want to set for your children is not something you can answer immediately."

The planner concluded like this: "Being lost doesn't mean you are running away."

It's because the things you want to cherish have increased.
