I want to do what I am passionate about.
My job is just a means of income which gives me no fulfillment, nor uses my gifts and talents.
I want to offer programs in the community, open a business and write more books.

I’m not respected, this company isn’t my passion.
I don’t like marketing,
I just want to paint and create things.
We might not feel like it, we might be drained and we might be depressed, but, we need to do something today that gives us joy.
Use your own time to do something today that you enjoy…even if it is only for one moment.

My job is monotonous. I do research for a financial firm and have very little to do every day, but the small amount of responsibility I have affects millions of dollars’ worth of stock. 90% of the time I’m bored out of my mind and the other 10% of the time I’m stressed out like no one would believe.
My boss does not deliver any insight or constructive criticism to his employees except for once a year during 20 minute personal evaluations.
I am also on a team and have been harassed for the past 3-4 years by two women. My teammates talk loudly within earshot of my office about how strange my personality is, how I don’t fit the corporate culture (wealthy with yachts and large families), how I’m too risky with my decisions at work, how my hair looks, etc. I’ve been repeatedly followed to the bathroom by a co-worker who told another teammate she “just wants to see what [I’ll] do.”
I’ve complained to human resources and have been told that I can file paperwork for harassment, but in all likelihood I would be fired instead of my co-workers for “rocking the boat.” I feel like my job has very little purpose and the only thing I accomplish by going into work is being the subject of harassment.
Today, I will deal with any bullies at work, even if that bully is my boss.
How I deal with it is up to me.
I might not confront them directly, but I will deal with it.
If they have been bullying me for years then obviously what I am doing isn’t working, so I need to do something different.
We aren’t kids anymore, but workplace emotional bullying hurts just as much as when we were kids in junior, middle and high school. But we aren’t kids. We can take care of ourselves. We can make adult decisions. We can deal with these workplace bullies.

I’m stressed and need to find peace, figure out my passion, and put my family and friends first.

I’m driving all over the state “trying” to see doctors whom I cannot see.
I’m tired of educational resources, that aren’t educational at all!
I’m bored.
We cannot call on hospitals, but that’s where we should be.
I keep getting told, “change is coming.”
I’m tired of having to deal with co-workers on the western side of the state who break compliance rules all the time and have asked me to do the same. Completely, undeniably, unethical!!
Some of us have been here; where doing our jobs are almost impossible.
What we are asked to do is just not working. Everybody knows it’s not working, but we keep right on “trying” to do it.
We skirt around the edges of ethics just to get it done.
It gets old day-after-day and we want a change, but change doesn’t seem to be coming fast enough.
Today, we need to ask ourselves: “Can I look in the mirror and be proud of myself AND do this job?”

I’m 23 and I feel as though I’m stuck in a dead-end job that has an amazing bonus structure but isn’t in any field that I’m remotely interested in.
I have to have this job in order to pay down my overdraft but I intensely dislike the people I work with.
I constantly feel patronized by my trainers and I feel that there should be more to my post-university life than this.
We were told that we needed a degree, maybe two or three.
We believed the system that told us that we needed a degree. So we got a degree or two or three.
We are smart: but we are in debt and we feel stuck in dead-end jobs.
We are smart: but we are in jobs that aren’t related to those degrees.
We are smart: but we work with people that we don’t like.
We are smart enough to figure this out.
We are and will figure this out…degree or not…we will figure this out and will find our way…

The volume of work is too high for one person therefore I do not have time to cross-train or learn other responsibilities.
I’m not learning anything new and I’m sick and tired of doing the same crappy load of work day after day.
I just can’t do it anymore.
It’s a brand new day.
Today, just for today believe that things will change. You will make a change in your life.
Everything will be fine.
