Finding the Good In Your Life and Your Job

I will be financially secure with the help of my fiancé.

The job I’m at causes me to feel stuck and unable to take life by the reigns spiritually.

I feel it is a dead end job and I have used up all the resources and mental structure building that it can provide me.

I am able to confidently take away from this job acquired knowledge about how to better speak with people with all different mind sets and situations.

It has helped me gain more patience with people and better listening skills, along with empathy.

I feel that now while working at this job it is keeping me from devoting more time to helping loved ones and friends. The energy that I have to assist others is exhausted from work.

Today, list the things that you will take away from your current job.

What skills or attributes have you personally gained?

There is something good here…what is it?

P.S.

One way to look for the good is to use a studied and proven model.  One such model is Appreciative Inquiry. It is typically used in Organizational Change.  For those of us who have spent years and years working in “organizations” we know that change in an organization is not easy…so…just start with yourself.  Below is an interesting book to help you apply AI to your own life.

"Just Quit" is About A Journey and A Purpose...It's Not About A Job

After six years with my current employer I am starting to feel like I am going in circles.

I am not really in a good position to advance because I work remotely and yet I am one of the longest employed marketing professionals in my segment of the company.

I find I don’t have the patience for the interactions. They feel meaningless.

We are doing neat things as a company but I don’t feel like there is any celebration of what we do. Criticism is just heaped on top of criticism and there is always some opportunity that we missed that is reason for disappointment.

I don’t really believe anymore that the path that I am on is right for me. Maybe it was two, three, four years ago. But I am back in the same place that I have been several times and I am left wondering when will it be enough.

“Just Quit” is a journey.

A journey that should never end.

You should always be letting go to let come.  Your passions will change.  Your interests will change.  You will gain skills and perfect them over time. 

Things will get boring as you do them over and over again. That’s ok. 

You are just growing. You may have outgrown your job and feel like you are “going in circles”. 

It’s just time to go back to the Steps so you can move forward on your journey.

In The End We Only Regret The Chances We Didn't Take

It is a toxic work environment and it’s not the field of work I want to be in. It is causing me stress, career regret, and feelings of being trapped.

Live your life without regrets. 

Listen to the voice deep inside (it’s not the one talking to you all the time…there is another voice deep inside of you that already has all the answers). Listen to THAT voice and start taking actions towards what will give your life a sense of purpose. 

Breathe In Courage. Exhale Fear. Be Fearless.

I’m at my wits end. I’m not challenged. I’m not doing what I am supposed to be doing and I don’t look forward to coming to work.

Today, is the only TODAY that there will EVER be.  This moment, right now, is all that we really have.

If today, and many of your yesterdays you feel like you are at your “wit’s end” then it’s time to let go of what is not working and let come what will work for you and your life right now.

BE BRAVE.
