Watching the Clock...How Many More Days Can You Continue To Do This?

Everything about my job makes me sad.

I dread getting up and going and count the minutes until I leave.

~ Worker Living in the UNITED KINGDOM

We have all counted the minutes and looked at the clock…watched the hours count down…wondered how much longer we could take it. We’ve waited for the magical moment we could bolt out of the door.

Now…how many more days can you do this?

How many more precious hours of your life can you continue to waste?

Fight For Something Better. This Is Your Life. Noone Elses.

I work in a hostile environment, and there is no chance to affect positive change.

~Worker Living in ALASKA

 

 

Today, affect positive change in your personal life. 

Forget about changing something that you can’t change, change what you can and the only thing you have control over is your own life AND your career.

Affect change where you can.

Be The Owner Of Your Life and Your Career...OWN IT

I hate it.

There is no opportunity for advancement.

I get no support from the owners.

I feel like I am constantly stressed over what needs to be done and no one else cares.

~ Worker Living in NORTH CAROLINA

Maybe you feel like no one really cares about what is going on where you work.

You can see what needs to be improved, but to no avail.

Even the owners or those who should offer support and care, don’t seem to care.

You’re in a good place to learn a lesson.

Lesson: YOU ARE NOT THE OWNER.

If you want the owner to care, then YOU need to BE the owner, start with your career…own that…

If You Don't Step Forward, You're Always in the Same Place

Knowing Where We Are Going – July 11

My co-workers single me out. I feel like I’m stuck and going nowhere in life with this job.

~ Worker Living in TEXAS

Knowing that we are stuck is knowledge.

We are stuck.

We need to get unstuck.

This job has run its course; there is no more “there” there.

We just need to move on.

We don’t have to stay stuck we can make a move as long as we have an idea of the direction we want to go.

The Word 'Listen' Contains The Same Letters as the Word 'Silent'

Step 3 – July 10

My current job and boss are making me feel so miserable and useless.

It is a small company (three people), and having just moved countries it’s important to have human contact and meet new people.

I can literally go eight hours having only spoken to just my boss. He puts me down, asks me inappropriate questions or makes comments which are unethical.

He’s totally under paying me, does not know how to manage people or work and thinks that everyone he works with or for is useless.

Most nights I come home and cry, which is obviously affecting my relationship with my partner and my unhappiness is stopping me from going out there and meeting new people and having fun.

~ Worker Living in AUSTRALIA

Today, I will find one person in my life that I trust that I can talk to about my situation.

I will share with them what is going on at work.

I just need to get it out; hear myself talk about it.

You are reading from the book “Just Quit” & Live

P.S.

If you can’t find someone to LISTEN to you…then be SILENT…(hint: that means you’ll have to learn how to quiet the noisy chattering mind). Meditation Works.  There is a quiet place inside of you that will give you the peace, space and “knowingness” that you are looking for. 

It’s unfortunate, but true, that your family and friends may not understand your situation and talking to them might make it worse when they tell you: “it can’t be that bad”; when you know it is THAT bad.  

So, today find someone you trust to talk to or take 5 minutes to quiet your mind and be silent.  

Quess What?...You're Not A Loser...You Are Part Of An Awakening...Welcome Aboard

You Are Not A Loser – July 9

I am MISERABLE. 

I am suffering with depression.

I’m scattered brained, young, lost, damaged, lonely, no goals and a f*cking loser.

~ Worker Living in MICHIGAN

No, you are not a loser.

If you are young; and even if you aren’t young; if you have contemplated quitting (even if you don’t have another job lined up) you are WAY ahead of the majority of the people.

Most people stay stuck or move from job-to-job-to-job and don’t do anything in life that they want to do. So, you are far from a loser.

You are just waking up.

You are finally waking up to know that there is more to life than working a job that makes you miserable.

You are waking up to the real possibility that one morning you will wake up and WANT to get out of bed so you can make your contribution to the world.
