Bitter or Better. It's Your Choice.

Because I hate what I do.

It’s the most boring thing in the world. I feel like I’ve lost my time and my life.

I have started hating my colleagues (when most of them are objectively pretty nice). 

I don’t want to spend most of my life doing something I dislike and become bitter.

Today, ask yourself if you are bitter about your life.

If you find that you are bitter you need to realize that you can change your life by your decisions.  First decide if you want to be bitter or to make things better.  If you choose bitter, then you choose bitter and that’s your decision…You’re bitter. If you choose better, then that’s your decision…You’re better.

This is your life and you can work on improving it for the better or decide to stay bitter.  It’s just a choice.

If You Want Peace Of Mind Stop Fighting With Your Thoughts

Because my mental health is worth more than my success.

~Worker Living in AUSTRALIA

Our mental health is with us at all times.  Sometimes we forget about it because it’s ALWAYS talking to us. The constant drone of the voice that is talking to you in your head. 

You can have money.  You can have fame.  You can have success, but unless you have these things along with Peace of Mind then you will not be at peace.

Don’t let anything disturb or interrupt your peace of mind.

Today, watch your thoughts and check and see if they are healthy.  Take an inventory of your thoughts and see where you are mentally.

Leaving On Top. Move On. Write The Next Chapter.

I want to leave on top.

There is no future for me there.

~Worker Living in CONNECTICUT

Sometimes we get to the point where we just know that it’s all downhill from here.  We can’t see ourselves working where we are working another 5 or 10 years.  We can’t see a future there. 

That’s perfect.

We made some contributions.  We have a good track record.

It’s just time to go.

Let Go Of Hatred. Have Compassion. Grow.

The bosses disrespected me. They hire new guys who are less experienced than me and pay them more. They fire a lot of the blacks and hire the Spanish people, which are all related to each other by marriage or family.

My hours have increased, but the pay has not, and they told us to come into work an hour late to avoid paying us the extra hour. When I did get a raise they only paid me .50 cents and 1 dollar on my hourly rate.

Everyday a customer insults me because I ask them questions I have to ask for my job. The pay for my job leaves me with little to no money after I pay my bills. I had to move back into my parent’s house just to afford to live.

I no longer respect many of my coworkers and none of the people in charge.

I’ve had nervous twitches and constipation. I never sleep through the night and I cannot even meet new women.

I’ve also have thoughts of murder or retribution.

In order for us to move forward and let come a better situation for ourselves, we have to want that for everyone else as well, even those we feel are mistreating us or abusing their positions. Until we can let go of the anger and bitterness of our situation it will continue to keep us stuck.

Any thoughts of hate or retribution that you have towards your co-workers or bosses become aware of it,  and ask for help to have compassion on those who have harmed you. 

If you can find compassion for them it will release you and allow you to move forward in your quest for a better future for yourself, your career and your family. 

It will help you to grow.

P.S. Want to learn to be compassionate?  Great book to read:

You Can Still Be A Hamster If You Want...Just GET OFF the Wheel

I dread getting up every day, I can barely put one foot in front of the other to take me into the office.

The Rain Will End. The Rain Always Ends. Hold On.

I feel like I can’t take the stress anymore. My body isn’t working as well as it used to and I constantly have soreness that won’t go away no matter what I do.

I have been at my current position a long time and I can barely tolerate the people I work with and especially our customers.

I just feel like I am going to snap one day soon.  

I have been working since I was sixteen but I just can’t stand this industry anymore.

Today, focus on working your “Just Quit” plan so one day you don’t snap and make a poor decision. 

Everything will be okay. 

You have come too far in your career. Things will work out.  You just need to hold on while you work the Steps and prepare yourself to “Just Quit”.

Just Live. Just. Live.

I worry so much about my job that I can’t sleep. I feel so worried and stressed I’ve lost my appetite and I can’t even sleep because my hands and body feel like they are burning. They were so bad I went to the doctor and had my blood tested for many reasons, and everything came back negative. They told me it was from stress.

My body burns so much that I cry at night.

When I got my job there was little training and my boss had a heart attack, so I ended up on the spot with all these orders and little experience, but I pulled through. Yet after pulling through and being proud of myself my boss comes back from recovery and only pinpoints what I did wrong.

With little training I felt so depressed and upset. I must add that the job I entered is a family business and they are making it extremely hard to make me feel like part of the family.

I am so stressed and depressed it has also made me feel like dying because there is no way out of it. I have highly considered quitting but money seems to get to me.

There is no way around it – stress and depression is painful. 

Our body will tell us if we are under too much stress.  Our mind will tell us if we are in a depressed condition.

Listen to your body and your mind.

Action: If today we are so stressed and depressed that we are having suicidal thoughts seek help.
