Anything is Possible. Really, it is.

I hate the micromanaging bureaucratic culture.

I also especially hate waking up in the mornings.

I don’t want another job because it will just be the exact same thing as the one I have.

~Worker Living in CALIFORNIA

If we know it’s not another j-o-b for us then we are making progress.

It doesn’t have to be another job like we have worked year-after-year-after-year. 

It might be that we start freelancing. 

We might consult.

We might start a business.

We might write. 

We might do many things.

We have to brainstorm. (Some of us brainstorm for our jobs, why not for ourselves?)

Start a mind-map. Generate ideas. 

Anything is possible. Really, it is.

Don’t Let Anyone Cut The Wings of Your Dreams

Ah actually, I did quit. I’m taking this survey out of curiosity.

After almost fifteen years in manufacturing I’ve only managed to work my way up to $15/hr. I am intelligent, well-spoken and extremely well written. I am analytical, capable of complex abstract thought, have keen spatial visualization and problem solving skills. I could only take so much of being reminded of these things by co-workers and engineers without due compensation.

The final straw came when I was passed up for a gainful opportunity within another department which I was an ideal candidate for, because of my apparent value to my current department. That was it. It was already bad enough that I didn’t love my job, being overlooked in lieu of a lesser qualified candidate because my manager would not let me go was a direct insult to my integrity as a human being.

~Worker Living in FLORIDA

Today be fair to yourself. 

Live up to your capabilities. 

Don’t let anyone cut the wings of your dreams.

You have a purpose and you are valuable.

To Find Your Purpose You Have To First Find Your Gift...What Are You Naturally Good At Doing?

I hate the profession. It doesn’t work with my values or my strengths.  It makes me  feel low and takes away everything I like about myself.

~Worker Living in the UNITED KINGDOM

If we are going to work through the “Just Quit” Steps then we need to know ourselves.

We need to know our strengths, our weakness, our values, what we like and what we don’t like.

We need to know ourselves.

Once we know ourselves our purpose will appear.

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.

~Worker Living in SOUTH AFRICA

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.

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.
