I HATE MY JOB

This has to be one of the most popular things people say with the exception of " have you seen the tik tok video where...".

I feel like I have said that a good amount of times in my life.

The problem is I never knew if I hated my job because maybe I just am ungrateful and don't know how to be content? Or maybe I hate my job because this job actually sucks.

I have found that I have hated my job for both reasons. And I am sure that you all have found yourself in a similar boat. In fact, right now I can proudly say that up until this point I would say " I HATE MY JOB". Maybe it would be better to say I hate one of my jobs (I have a few). You see two of these jobs I LOVE. They align with what I want my life work to be about. But one of these jobs I think I could totally live without.

I started getting upset with myself when I took this job I don't care too much for. I started feeling like a failure and that it was setting me back. But then I realized it was only "setting me up". I learned along the way, that sometimes you are going to HATE YOUR JOB. I mean really hate it. But instead of having that negative thinking, that you are stuck. Look at it as the thing that is setting you up for what you are meant to do. For me, I had to take this job to support myself while I do what I love. And when I look at it from that point of view, I begin to actually.... like my job more. It's weird how a simple mindset shift works... but it does. I have started seeing my job for what it is, that its a tool in my toolbox that is helping me build my great masterpiece

And I must add my disclaimer: If you don't like where you are.. change it. Sometimes the problem was I never gave the job the benefit of the doubt and other times it just truly was a crappy job. So make sure you know the difference. Also, if you are like me, and have to pay bills because your dream has not come to fruit yet, appreciate the job you have in the meantime that provides you with the income to chase your dream. Finally, if you truly do not love your job and you don't know what you want to do with your life, listen to that still small voice telling you there's more out there. That there is something better out there for you than where you are. Begin to seek and ye shall find.

Until Next Time.
