A lot of people are unhappy in their work life, even if earning a good salary. They are not satisfied or fulfilled by their work. No matter what the title, the work seems to be drudgery and tedious.
They are tired of commuting, tired of stress, tired of office gossip, and tired of trying to juggle their personal and professional lives with so little satisfaction.
It is easy to say: Step back. Assess your role. I can say this, sitting in the comfort of my living room, not on the freeway at 7 am.
But, that is exactly what we have to do. Step back from our daily lives.
Find a place to be alone, whether that is a park, a beautiful forest, a chapel, or even your bedroom.
Ask youself: What do I want? What am I missing? What am I willing to give up? What am I willing to do?
I recently read an interesting story of a family who gave up their 2000 square foot house for a 270 square foot house and found greater happiness and more time to do what they valued.
How we spend our time and our money usually tells the story of what we want. If there is a disconnect in our lives between what we want and what we are doing, this is the time to correct it.
Don't put it off...
