Real Reason Why You Will Die Doing Boring Work
And other things no one tells you that you need to learn to live happily
Have you ever woke up with a feeling and asked yourself- “Do I really need to go to work today” or “why do I hate working?” or “why I have to do this” or something similar in that line.
Is it the people, what I do, or is it something else entirely? The people are becoming less happy with their jobs and personal life more than ever.
Sometimes it doesn’t matter how much do you earn or the position you hold.
From where this hate is coming?
It’s not easy to find something that you are actually love doing, passionate about, and pays all the bills.
Sometimes you are afraid to admit and pretend everything is okay. Yet deep down you know you are living below your potential, and high ambitions.
As per this article, 85% of people are unhappy in their current jobs.
But with time it’s all changing. And with new ways of working, lots of potential opportunities are unfolding in different domain and across industries.
“Never let a bad situation bring out the worst in you. Choose to stay positive and be the strong person that God created you to be!”
Look from a different angle
If you continue reminding yourself about what you dislike about your job, or the work your currently doing, you are only going to get further hating it.
Instead ask these questions:
- why am I staying in this job
- Is my career growth getting stagnant
- do I really need to deal with this nonsense
- Is it enough to live a sustainable life
The answers will usually give you the pretty good insight.
It may be because you feel stuck in some way.
As much as you hate working, you hate the idea of not working even more.
Or is it fear of failure or rejection.
“Instead of worrying about what you cannot control, shift your energy to what you can create.”― Roy T. Bennett
To get different results, act differently
If you want to change your results, then take a moment and think about things you can change and control.
Write down as many things as you can about what makes sense to you.
You can start with:
- what sort of work you want to do
- pay range you are looking for
- location you want to work from
- flexibility to manage work and personal life
It may not turn your life up side down but by committing to making these small changes in your mindset and action, you will find yourself turning hate back into love and contentment.
If you have something you share, I would love to hear your thoughts.
