What If? & Why Not?

I want to quit my job without another one lined up because I am so unhappy that I can’t go a day without crying.

It is tearing apart my relationship with the love of my life.

I dread going into the office every day because it is torture.

The VP over me is completely rude, belittles me, and treats me like a little girl.

~Worker Living in NEW YORK

Today…ERASE the board of your mind and just ask yourself WHAT IF? and WHY NOT? questions. You’ll be surprised how the possibilities will appear. Go ahead…Why Not?

If you are crying every day; if your relationships are falling apart; if going into the office is torture; if you are being mistreated…you need to ask yourself if you deserve better. 

If you do, then you need to decide right now and today that you will first accept where you are today… because until you can accept where you are and what is… you will stay stuck hoping, wishing and praying that things will be different – magically – today, right now.

That is not how life works. 

You are strong, you will make it through this time and you will be able to share with others the pain and anguish that you endured. You will be able to encourage them with YOUR story of how you made it through.

Just hang in there, it will all work out.  You will make it through today and tomorrow and the next day…just hold on and work the Steps…

Dare To Be Great...Have Courage

I’m tired and I don’t really know what I want to do.

I just want to take this challenge and “Just Quit”.

~Worker Living in MEXICO

To “Just Quit” your job is a challenge and it takes courage. 

It takes the courage to believe in not only yourself but that the universe/God/a higher power will take care of you.  It takes faith to believe and to know that you will be alright and that letting go of your current job will allow something better to come into your life.

It’s not something someone can tell you to do. 

It is something that you KNOW you have to do and you KNOW everything is going to work out just fine.

Seize The Day...Make It Amazing

I don’t like working for the company or my boss.

I’m stuck with a lot of duties that I don’t like doing and I can’t focus on what I’m doing.

Even the projects I’m working right now I’m not very passionate about or enjoy doing.

Today, find something about your job that you do enjoy. 

Find one thing that you enjoy, just one thing, and then think about exactly why you enjoy doing that one thing.

Focus on what is working for you in this job.  There has to be at least one thing that is working.  Maybe from that one thing it will help you down the road for your next job or endeavor. 

What is one thing you enjoy about your current job?

Turning Your Passion Into Your Job Is Easier Than Finding A Job That Matches Your Passion

I’ve been in the field of insurance marketing management for the last 8 years and in insurance for 18 yrs.

It’s becoming hard to continue as I haven’t been on any vacation in 8 years and I’m doing the same job April to March repeatedly.

This year I have been unable to perform properly due to personal and new job related problems. My performance graph is constantly going down.

~Worker Living in INDIA

Today, think about your next vacation.  This is not a joke, really, think about your next vacation.  In all honesty when will you be able to take a vacation?  A real vacation. A one week vacation at a minimum.

If you stay in your current job will you be able to take a vacation this year? What about next year?   What will happen while you are on vacation? What about when you get back from vacation? 

Do you have a job where you can take a vacation? A job where there is enough money coming in for a vacation? A job where you don’t  have to worry while you are gone or when you came back off of vacation about your job and the workload.  

What if you had a job that felt like you were always on vacation?  Today,  think about vacationing. 

Pick A Path That You, Deep Down In Your Soul, Won't Be Ashamed Of

I’m not using the skills I’ve gained through my degree. 

There is no room for growth and I’m not learning anything.

Living in this city is making me depressed and anxious.

~Worker Living in the UNITED KINGDOM

Some of us have one, two, even three degrees.  Some of our degrees are recent and some are more than 10 years old. It took a lot of our time, commitment and money to get our degrees; but having this degree or that one only guarantees us of one thing – that we have this degree or that one.  It does not guarantee us that we will get a job where we will use our degree.  For that matter it does not even guarantee us that we will get a job.

Don’t get stuck thinking you have to do something related to your degree.  

All you really want is to do your life’s work.  The work you are meant to do.  That might not have a thing in the world to do with your degree.

Just move towards getting in alignment with your highest skills, greatest talents and your interests.  That is what is going to fulfill you and allow you to give yourself to the world. 

Just for today…forget about those degrees and think about doing something fulfilling and meaningful.  

Today, Now, This Minute...Choose To Be Happy...

People are dumb. I do not want to become like them or my managers.

No one talks to me.

Engineering is my soul.

No one is happy there anyway.

I take on too many remedial tasks.

No growth for 3 years. Not learning anymore.

I think I was happier and more hopeful when I was unemployed.

No one looks at me anymore.

Today BE happy and hopeful, even if you are miserable because of your job. 

We all just want to be happy and hopeful. That is not too much to ask.   

Today, just ask for happiness and hope.   

(Okay, if you don’t think you can be happy, click on the above and pretend like this is your last day on your current job and you are going to wake up in the morning doing what you are meant to do…just pretend…then realize you can “feel” like that right now, this minute BEFORE things change.)

Happiness is a CHOICE!

Feeling Like A Modern Day Slave At Work? Free YOUR Mind

I feel sick every day I go to work and it stops me from doing any other activities that I would like to do. 

Just thinking that after doing that activity; like going to the gym; that I’m still going back to work the next day makes me sick.

I feel like I’m in a corporate prison working as a modern slave to be able to eat, drink and take my 3 weeks’ vacation a year to relax.

I feel extremely stressed. 

While working I don’t seem to have the privilege anymore to deal with the other aspects of my life like family, friends and my health.

~Worker Living in CANADA

Sometimes, some of us feel or have felt like we are a modern-day slave.  We are working at a place, with people, for people that make us sick and miserable.

We feel we have no choice. 

We are going day-by-day like we are prisoners and unable to get out of the work jails we find ourselves locked in.  Basically it’s just a feeling and belief that we are stuck.  We are stuck in a profession we fell into, stuck in an industry we have been in for a while, stuck in an organization we’ve been in a long time… just plain stuck.

If we are feeling like a modern-day slave, in prison or just plain stuck then first we have to admit that is how we feel and DECIDE not just IF we want to change it, but HOW we are going to change it. 

If we have been looking for a job for a year, two, three, even five years and nothing has happened, then we need to do something different.  We need to do some soul-searching and determine WHAT we need to do differently.  Maybe we have to do more than just look for jobs with the same job title as our current one.  Maybe we need to call someone we know and trust and ask for help. Ask someone to look out for us if they know of a job that comes open that fits our skill sets.

We need to stop panicking. The universe knows how we are feeling and what we need.

In order to get out of slavery you have to break free.

Break Free. 

Think Differently.
