THE LOTUS LANE

When your passion pays less than your practicality, it's easy to read the pay gap as a verdict on your choices. But the worth of your work isn't always settled in this month's bank statement — sometimes it's being built in you, slowly and for real.

“Work is not separate from your humanity. It IS your humanity in action. The question is not what your work pays you today, but what it is making of you.”

- Daisaku Ikeda, The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, Part 1
