This House isn’t just about how other people and society views us, but how our role in our society and careers makes us see ourselves. In many ways the things this House rules is how we create who we are. An ugly truth is- we are not born to just work, earn money, pay bills, and then die. However, doing these things makes up a big part of our lives and a large part of our identities and relationships with other people depends on how we succeed in career and society. We are not our jobs, but they help to shape us.
But I Don’t Work
Not everybody earns money, but we all work. All of us, no matter what we do, have an impact in the community. A lot of people who do not need, or do not have an income spend time volunteering. They volunteer for their schools, religious organizations, neighborhoods, or causes that are close to their hearts. Just because you are not earning money does not mean you are not working. Taking care of people and volunteering for no money can very well be your lifelong career, and that is never a bad thing. Your worth is measured in more than money.

Why Are Mothers Important?
Your mother carried you in her body after you were conceived. At one time, your grandmother did too. When your mother was inside your grandmother’s womb, all the body parts your mother would possess to enable her to carry you inside of her were in her as she was a developing fetus. You might be a separate individual from your mother, but you really are intimately connected to her. Science shows mothers spend more time with their children than fathers do. They influence us in many ways because of that. Read more about that here: Key facts about moms in the U.S. for Mother’s Day | Pew Research CenterKey facts about moms in the U.S. for Mother’s Day
Mothers are the main caregivers normally, and they help develop our emotional wellbeing and attachment styles. They are usually the first relationship a child has and how well they protect and nurture their child will decide the feelings of trust and security a child feels. If you grow up with an abusive mother, as an adult you can have emotional issues, problems with addiction, self esteem issues, and difficulties forming healthy relationships. Not only do our mothers physically care for us, but they give us much needed emotional support, encouragement, guidance, and they make us feel loved and safe. So, it cannot be stressed enough how very important mothers are to their beloved children.
Who Cares About Fame?
Just being famous isn’t the point. Not everybody can become superstar famous, and that’s okay. Fame and renown are something we all have. We are known for what our public image is. How much people like you, trust you, and respect you decides how much they will do for you. If you are disliked, even if you don’t deserve it, people can make your life more difficult on purpose. On the other hand, if you are loved, respected, and valued, people will go out of their way to do favors for you and include you in all the things you want them to. So, fame matters. People who like us can become our friends, but one place a lot of people don’t want to be is in the “friend zone”. Learn how to get out of the friend zone here: How Do I Get Out of the Friend Zone?
