What Is The Point Of Faking Happiness When You Can "Be" Happy?

I’ve reached a point in my life where I’m not happy every day. I don’t enjoy going to work. I’m my happiest when I’m not at work.

I’m tired of being other people’s crutch to do whatever they want me to do. I need to be my own person.

What’s the point of faking happiness when there’s real happiness to be found and experienced? I need to be out of my comfort zone for once to kick myself in the *ss to do something for myself professionally.

Today, ask yourself if you can ever be happy in this job.  

Not, are you faking happiness and making others BELIEVE that you are happy; but are you really happy or could you be? 

If the answer is no; then you need to get out of your comfort zone and take some actions TODAY.

Lose and Find Yourself In The Things That You Love

I am miserable every day.

I hate going to work on Monday’s.

I hate that I never see my husband.

I hate my hours and I hate my customers.

Naming what we hate helps us determine what we love.

If you hate that you never see your spouse; then you know you need a job or opportunity that will allow you to be with them.

Don’t stop at just “hating”; balance it out with what you love.  Naming what you love will lead you to a lifestyle that includes what you love.

It's Time To Get Back To A Normal Life

The job is poisoning every aspect of my life and makes it impossible to live a normal life let alone look for another job.

If  you feel like your job is poisoning every aspect of your life and you can’t live a normal life you will have to figure out EXACTLY what the poison pill is. 

Is it the job itself, your manager, the politics, the industry, the commute, the workload, or the hours? 

In order for you to get the poison out of your system you need to know EXACTLY what you are dealing with.  Once you have determined the poison then, you need to find a way to remedy it.

How do you get back to a normal life if things are out of whack?

See Things Differently...Look For The Possibilities...

I would like to have the chance to explore independent consultancy with more flexibility and a chance to work on more varied projects.

~Worker Living in Nigeria

Today, is there any space and time for you to work on some other projects that interest you — even if they aren’t currently assigned to you? 

Can you take a project that you’re working on to the next level or in a different direction? 

If those opportunities aren’t there in this job, do you have enough energy during your time off to explore freelance opportunities – no matter how small they might be – just to give you some different types of projects to work on?

P.S.

Google Freelance Opportunities…at a minimum you need to have or develop the skills to be ABLE to work freelance gigs.

If You're Feeling Trapped In Your Job...Admit It & Live Differently This Year

I feel trapped in an endless cycle with no end.

~Worker Living in New York

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

Today, ask yourself if you feel trapped in your job, at your organization, with your team, at the location you work, or working for your boss.

 It’s a yes or no answer –

DO YOU FEEL TRAPPED?   

P.S. (This is for all the people out there looking for a link, or a video, or ANOTHER inspirational quote.)

NOBODY is going to give you the answer to the above question.  Stop looking for other people to figure this out for you.  Stop beating yourself up about the situation you are in.  Stop lying to yourself about it. Just face it. Stare it down.  Look at it.  It is what it is.  Take a good long look at your work situation, because until you face it you’ll STAY stuck for ANOTHER year.

You CAN get un-stuck this year.  You MUST get un-stuck this year. Step-by-Step you can do this.  Yeah YOU can wake up and WANT to JUMP out of bed. Why NOT you?

P.P.S.

If you’ve read this far…put your hand over your heart…leave it there until you can feel your heart beating. (It might take a minute to tune in and feel the beating…you might even have to close your eyes to focus in.)

Now, this is your reminder that you are alive.  You are still alive.

STOP EXISTING & LIVE!!!

~Worker Living in Malta

Finding balance starts within.

Ask for balance in both your inner and outer world. Ask for a sense of peace within.
