Time. 24 hours. Today. All Yours.

My boss drives me crazy.

I cannot rely on anything she says. I cannot rely on hours or a paycheck.

I have to be available 14 hours a day. I am never consulted about changes made to my schedule.

Today, take back control of your time.

Figure out what time you do have control over. Set boundaries around that time and protect it.  

Use your time wisely to help you move forward and towards your life’s work. 

Play and Use All The Crayons

Stress of dealing with multiple, arrogant, and rude personalities.

I can’t sleep and my hair is falling out due to stress.

I am stuck and not learning anything.

I am unhappy. I am NOT having fun. I hate going to work every day.

Plaque I Made And Sold For $5…What Was I Thinking???

Today have fun.

If there is no fun to be had at your current job then you need to brainstorm  your idea of having fun at work, so that you can move towards that after you “Just Quit” this job.

We Know What We Need To Do

I can no longer stand being around my boss who is not willing to expand her horizon nor allow anyone to make an impact to the betterment of the organization.

We know when we are working for someone who is not as smart as we are, and what it is like when THEY know it. 

We know when we are working for someone who is jealous of us and THEY show it. 

We know when we are working for someone who is holding the company back and THEY don’t care as long as they can continue to be the boss.

It’s not very likely that they are going to change.  It’s not likely they are going to go back and pick up the skills or knowledge that they need…they’ll have to admit that they are inadequate in their role to do that…so… it’s very unlikely you can make them change.

We can change.  We know what we need to do.  We know.

Live Everyday...Not Just To Make It To The Weekend.

I cannot seem to even figure out what I have any passion for.

I have no energy, nor can I concentrate to really think about what really makes me happy.  I have no idea at this point.

I make it to the weekends drained and always seem to think about what is coming up the next day or the next week.

Sometimes it is worse than others.

Today, live your life EVEN THOUGH you are miserable on your job. 

Do not live to just make it to the weekend. 

Find something to do to relieve the stress so that you can free your mind to figure out what you are passionate about. Even if you just take a minute and breathe then that’s what you need to do.  The more you can find what works for you to relieve the stress the closer you will get to being able to use every day to find your way out of this.

STOP Wasting Your Time. Be Productive Today.

I am totally unfulfilled.

I’ve been doing the same thing for five years now. There are no growth prospects.

I sometimes sit idle at the office because work is slow to come by.

Today, if you are sitting idle and bored at work ask yourself what you can do to be productive for your own self-improvement…then start doing it.

I’m feeling sad about not contributing.

I’m not improving and it’s damaging my reputation.

Today, think about your reputation. 

Exactly what is your reputation on this job, at this organization, or in this industry?

If this job is damaging your reputation then you need to admit that and take back the control…slowly…but surely.

You've Been Shown The Truth. Face It & Deal With It.

I work for an unprofessional company. My manager employs all her friends… and son and gives them preferential treatment. I’m grossly underpaid and I haven’t had a raise in five years.

I recently found out that my 10 years of experience (in a very demanding field) has netted me the same income as someone that started three months ago who knows nothing about the job. I’m underappreciated.

It’s painful when we truly face our current work situations. It’s like someone pulled back the curtain and have shown us the real “wizard” isn’t a wizard at all. It was all a mirage.  It’s not real.  We aren’t appreciated. We feel used, abused, and tricked.

We can instantly turn things around by being GRATEFUL.  Grateful that we now KNOW the truth.  It’s up to us to act on what we NOW know as the truth.  We can decide to continue to stay or we can decide to leave.  It’s up to us.  We have been shown the truth.
