You Know You're On the Right Track When You Become Uninterested In Looking Back

I need more time to work on my projects, such as writing my book, and finding clients, so that I can be more involved in the wellness industry.

If you know EXACTLY what you want to do then DO IT.  

Find the time to follow your bliss. 

Doors will open.  Doors will open once you get on the right track. You just need to GET on the right track.

You Matter. Never Forget That.

I’m expecting a baby in seven months. I haven’t been feeling well and my employers haven’t been exactly accommodating. They are barely civil about it.

Even before I found out I was pregnant I had come to the realization that the job I have now is not what I thought it would be in terms of exposure and career progressions and opportunities.

I also noticed how other employees have been treated by my employer, there is no residual value, and you are only as valuable as the work that they need to get done in the next month.

Also… I hate filling out leave forms.

Today,  be honest with yourself about where you work.  Put this job in perspective to what matters in your life.

Know that you matter and if your employer really doesn’t care about you, your health and your needs then why should you continue to contribute your talents and skills there?

You matter.  You have to take control of your career to make sure where you work, works for you.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. ~ Steve Jobs

I’m complacent at my job, and as long as I stay there I will never further myself.

Also, my boss is taking money from me and my fellow employees.

Recognize it if you are complacent.

Commit yourself that you want to further your life and not continue to chill and be comfortable/complacent. You are worth this reflection and commitment.

Take a positive step today toward furthering yourself and reaching your goals.

In The End We Only Regret The Chances We Didn't Take

It is a toxic work environment and it’s not the field of work I want to be in. It is causing me stress, career regret, and feelings of being trapped.

Live your life without regrets. 

Listen to the voice deep inside (it’s not the one talking to you all the time…there is another voice deep inside of you that already has all the answers). Listen to THAT voice and start taking actions towards what will give your life a sense of purpose. 

Where Are You On The Happiness Scale?

On a scale of 1-10, 1 being unhappy, 5 being neutral, and 10 being fully happy, I am consistently at a 4 or below in regards to my job. This means that not only am I not happy at my job, but I am actually unhappy.  

I have made the decision that I need to remove things from my life that make me unhappy in order to find happiness.

If my job was neutral or better, I would stay. But I remain in the unhappy zone, so I have to leave.

Did you know there was a happiness scale…well today there is.

Today, where are you on the happiness scale of 1-10?  Where were you yesterday on that scale?  Where will you be one year from now if you stay in your current job?

Just questions…be honest with yourself.

"I Wish I Woulda Worked My Just Quit Plan When I Stumpled On That Website That Day!" ~Your Future Self 10 Years From Now

I want to find my bliss.

I know I will never be happy doing what I’m doing now. I want to pursue my passions full-time, because I know how they make me feel compared to what I do now!

Even with the extra raise I’ve earned at my job, it’s not worth my happiness.

Knowing that burning feeling of pursuing our passions is what “Just Quit” is about.  Knowing how it feels to jump out of bed. Knowing what happiness is to us and having that feeling day after day after day is worth more than any amount of money.

Once we deal with our fears about our finances (Step 2) we realize that we can move towards earning money doing something meaningful and worthwhile to the world. 

No regrets. NO REGRETS. Take Action. DO SOMETHING.

If You're Going Thru Hell, Keep Going. ~Churchill

My job is unfulfilling. I say that and sometimes people nod in recognition, and even scoff because “that’s what work is” to millions, so I should stop my sniveling.

I thought I could do a boring 9-5 if I got paid decently, but within months I realized that I was so wrong.

I sometimes just stare at my computer, at my cubicle, and wonder “how the hell am I going to get out?”

OUR jobs don’t have to be unfulfilling just because most people are unfulfilled in THEIR jobs.

WE don’t have to accept that. WE deserve more.

WE can rise above this and “get out of hell” so we can glimpse heaven.
