Having Faith Means Trusting That The Plan For Your Life Is Working Out...Even Now...

This job doesn’t interest me.

The field doesn’t interest me.

I don’t see myself anymore with this company.

My work life balance is completely out of whack. I live in one country and my wife and kids in another. 

I can’t sleep at all!

I am stressed, spaced out and miserably down all the time.

I lost my faith in myself.

Faith

Some of us have lost faith in ourselves. 

Lost faith in our abilities. 

Lost faith in our skills. 

Lost faith in our decision-making. 

Lost faith in being able to get ourselves out of our work situation. 

You have to have faith in something. 

If you can’t have faith in yourself have faith that there is a plan for your life and that plan is working out.

Have faith that even though you can’t see a way out; that a way will come.

Have faith that you will figure out what you need to do next. 

Have faith that you have come this far in life and that your journey is not yet over.

You will pull through this. This too will pass.

Have faith that everything changes and so will this time in your life.

Does It Make ANY Sense To Work At A Place That Is Destroying Your Soul? It's Time To Re-Think Work and Working.

Because my job is soul-destroying.

I can’t do what I want to do and those things that need doing.  There’s far too much work that cannot be fitted into the day.

I work with absolutely awful people, in an organisation whose values and attitudes I don’t share.

I can’t be creative in my teaching or in my day-to-day job. I feel constricted in every part of my action, always having to watch and having to account for my actions and decisions.

It’s like being in a police state, and having to abide by laws you know to be corrupt and self-serving. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!!

cinco de mayo

Some jobs can be even more than soul-crushing. They can be soul-destroying. 

We don’t have to stay in a place we know is corrupt and self-serving.

We can and we will fight for our very souls. Today is Cinco de Mayo; it’s a Spanish celebration. Fight your battle today and free yourself from your own “police state” of employment that is soul-destroying.
