This piece of advice is one that I guarantee we've all heard before. But when I tried following it, here's what happened: 

  1. I developed a romanticized view of what my career should be 
  2. I had unrealistic expectations of what work is supposed to feel like that normal frustrations started to feel like a sign that I was on the wrong path 
  3. I lost my sense of self-identity 

Can you guess what this piece of advice is?
