Doing Our Thing

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

Q: Why do you want to quit your job EVEN if you don’t have another job lined-up?

I am no longer happy with my current job. And my part-time business, though the income is not stable, is promising.

something today

Meditation/Reflection:

How can we not have OUR own thing? 

If we don’t like the job we are on; how can we not be thinking about and pursuing OUR thing? 

Why wouldn’t we be?

Hobbies and Careers

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

 Q: Why do you want to quit your job EVEN if you don’t have another job lined-up?

I am having an issue with my colleague; as well as; I have come to realize that I am no longer interested to pursue design as my career and that it should continue as my hobby.

Daily Meditation/Reflection:

Maybe our careers could be hobbies and our hobbies could be careers?

Hmmm…by the way… hobbies & passions…they are the same thing.

What Do You Want?

You are reading from the book  Just Quit” & Live

Q: Why do you want to quit your job EVEN if you don’t have another job lined-up?

I need time off, to redefine myself, to focus on education in the field, to volunteer, and make room for a new opportunity that is more aligned to my interests. I am hoping to find a similar role in a much smaller, slower paced environment, so there is a better work life balance.  I am suffering from anxiety and taking medication to make it through the week now.  I want to get back to healthy.

Meditation/Reflection:

If we know what we want, it is already there waiting for us. 

We have to know what we want or we will miss it if it shows up. 

What do you want?

Set your next career goal.  Just clearly set what role you want to play and on what field. No matter what, eventually you are going to have to set sail for that new destination…it’s just a matter of time.

Finding Our Purpose

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

Q: Why do you want to quit your job EVEN if you don’t have another job lined-up?

I hate what I’m doing. I hate my responsibilities. I dread coming into work each day. I’m overwhelmed with the work I’m doing. I feel like there is a greater purpose for me.

~Worker Living in Ohio

soul work

Meditation/Reflection:

There is a greater purpose for each of us. 

Finding our purpose requires that we find our path…our life path…our life’s work.

That path is a daily journey and that journey requires that we take steps.

Every step leads you down a path; even those paths where we feel like we are going sideways or backwards.

Keep taking the steps on your journey, on your path, towards your purpose.

Be Simba

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

Q: Why do you want to quit your job EVEN if you don’t have another job lined-up?

I want something new and I know that I won’t find it here because there is nothing left for me! My boss loves me, but will never help me get to another point in my life.

~SOUTH CAROLINA

Do you remember what the line was in the “Lion King” when Nala was looking for Simba? Rafiki told Nala, Timon and Pumbaa; “You won’t find him here.” 

Simba had gone back home to claim his crown as the King.  Claim your crown as Queen or King of your life. Run towards your destiny.

Be Simba.

Stop Suffering in Silence

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

 Q: Why do you want to quit your job EVEN if you don’t have another job lined-up?

I did write out a long rant, but decided to delete the text in this box due to it (potentially) giving away who I am.

You are not alone

Who are you going to talk to when you are at a place in your life where you are trying to figure out how you can quit your job even if you don’t have another one? 

There are a very very limited number of people you can share your situation with. This means there is hardly any support.  You sit there and you suffer in silence.  You feel alone. You feel crazy. You feel like nobody can really help you get through this. 

Remember: there are other people all over the world who are in a similar situation as you are.

Many are reading the same words that you are reading. Today, collectively we will say: “We are the ones who are awake and are working on making good decisions to take responsibility for our lives.  We will get through this.”
