Do You Wonder If You Deserve A Better Life?

I have more important things in my life than work.

I do not deserve to be treated like sh*t and be unappreciated at my place of work.

My job has caused serious health issues for me. I do not get sick days or vacations.

I can still do whatever I want and not worry about money for over a year.

~Worker Living in CALIFORNIA

Today, if you CAN leave your job and you are unhappy AND especially if it is impacting your health, then WHY are you still there? 

Don’t you deserve better than this?

Today Say: "I Want To Feel Alive". Engaged. Passionate. Connected. It is Possible.

I am not good at my job. I hate going to work. I am always late to work.

The work is boring. My boss works on my nerves. I hate presentations.

I have no passion for my work. I am not keeping up to date with my profession. People expect me to be an accounting expert which I am not. I am not doing my job.

I want freedom. I want a new career. I want to wake up late in the morning. I want a job for which I have passion. I want to be an expert in my job. I want the freedom to travel for long periods. I want to spend my time reading. I want to feel alive. I want to stop feeling anxious.

Today, we need to know that there is a way out. 

There is a way out of the cycle that we all seem to find ourselves in. There is a community of us.  Many are walking by your office now and just suffering in silence.  Many will sit in a meeting with you today and doodle on the page or write gibberish while thinking about how miserable they are listening to others talk about nothing.

Today, collectively we will say: “I WANT TO FEEL ALIVE” at some point today say…out loud…scream it while commuting if you must…I WANT TO FEEL ALIVE.

The more you can define and name what you want and let the universe know…the greater chance of it coming your way.

~Worker Living in MOZAMBIQUE

 

Stop delaying. 

Stop questioning yourself.

If you have an idea then pursue it, run it to ground. 

Stop thinking about it, stop talking about it, just do it.

Eliminating The Option of Staying At Your Current Job Is Half Of The Battle

I want to change career fields and staying at my current position; which is so demanding and not enjoyable; I hardly can find time to pursue my interests in the new career field. 

I’m trying my best but staying at my current job is just not an option anymore.

~Worker Living in SLOVENIA

Once we KNOW we can eliminate the option of staying at our current job then we are more than half way there.

Even though making the DECISION to “Just Quit” is only one Step it is the most important Step.

  Until you make that DECISION nothing happens. You stay stuck.

Once you make that decision things will open up…ideas, your mind, doors, support, new opportunities, peace, the way you see your current job…being able to eliminate the option of staying is a big step.

Don't Let Any J-O-B Kill Your Soul...Honor Your Soul Today

This job makes my soul shrivel into a tiny, angry, bitter little ball of cynicism.  It is negatively affecting the rest of my life. It is a very unhealthy environment and a terrible way to spend so much of my time.

~Worker Living in VIRGINIA

Today, I will honor myself and my soul. 

I will not let this or any job kill my soul.

My soul.

Say that:  “My soul.”

When you say it concentrate on how your body feels.

It tingles and responds….it’s not My soul; it’s My Soul.

Wow…honor your Soul today.

You Can Get What You Need While You Are Miserable...Play Your Hand Well...

I feel stuck in my job and my career. I’ve been plotting this years ago, but I was waiting to get some things I needed (loans, a surgery paid through the healthcare, etc.). Now I’ve got all I need. It’s time to quit and start over.           

~Worker Living in COLOMBIA SOUTH AMERICA

We don’t have to just sit there and be miserable.

We can get what we need while we are being miserable.

If we know what we need: be it a degree, a certification, surgery or the magical five-year mark for 401K’s and pensions: then we stay.

WHILE we stay we plot our path.

We work the Steps.

We perfect our plan.

Smoke and Mirror Organizations...You Have to Decide...Does This Path Have Heart?

My work has no purpose, it helps nobody, and I don’t believe that the organization really cares about the results. They are simply interested in getting grant money from the government and have no intention to use that money to develop a product. I also don’t think the management has any idea what they are doing.

~Worker Living in PENNSYLVANIA

Count yourself lucky if you’ve never worked for an organization that is just smoke and mirrors. 

It’s a shell game.  It’s not real. Of course you don’t know it until you are inside of the shell, that it’s just hollow inside. Some of us have had this experience. Some of us are living inside of this experience now. 

Once you know you are in a hollow organization; it’s like anything else in this life; it comes down to if you are going to continue to play the game of “not real, but they’ve got money to pay me” verses “not real, and I can’t do this anymore”. 

That’s basically it. Just a decision.

Our lives are just a series of decisions that we make moment-by-moment that end up becoming…our lives.

P.S.

Googling about Robin Williams and other comics I found this graduation speech by Jim Carrey.  Once you get beyond the jokes in the beginning you will find great sage advice and an interesting picture that he drew.
