What is your job you do?

What is your job you do? Where do your work? are probably the hardest questions to answer to in a short sentence.

It is great when you have a title, it gives a splash of your awesomeness in the face of your interlocutor.
I am 'Consultant Associate'. I am 'Customer InSight Officer'. I am 'Data analyst Manager'... (in your face).

Where do I work? I am a flexi-travelling worker. I mainly work from home. BUT, I also work in various places in the Midlands (Leicester, Northampton), also London, I jet set to Paris and Amsterdam sometimes... (splash in your face)...

Those two questions are set to gauge both interlocutors' status. It is quite sad, the longer the title and list of places you go to, the more you appear awesome. Truth to be told, I love working from home and have a family to come back to after a long day making decisions.

In my own perspective, the question should be reframed to 'What are you passionate about?' 
At least, you will connect more deeply to the person you are talking to and find more things in common with this particular. Let's reframe the way we communicate to one another to truly be and together.

Missminimalist , Thank you

I was hooked to missminimalist blogs in the past four days, reading approximately 16 pages of individuals testimonies on how they started and enjoyed their minimalist journey. It opened my eyes on the endless minimalist lifestyles that any of us can implement. I admire the traveller, the spiritualist, the true materialist (as opposed to consumerist), the mindful, the artist, the mum, the dad, the designer who with intention choose to keep the things that add value to his/her life and get rid of the frivolous. Beyond just getting rid of things, there is not participating to our current wasteful society, it is recognising that we are all equal regardless of what we own and finally it is embracing freedom. It is why I love it. I encourage you to have a read/rid, I hope it will inspire you:  http://www.missminimalist.com/
