For the People Who Hate Their Job
Sep 5th
If you were to stop a random person on the street and asked them about their job, the most common thing you would hear from them is “I hate my job”. To be honest this doesn’t surprise me, because most of the jobs that I’ve had I hated with all my strength. If you were to run a job satisfaction survey you will find that most people are not satisfied with their jobs.
It doesn’t surprise me when I hear people complain about their jobs, but the funny thing is most of them are planing to stay in their current job forever. So why are people terrified of leaving their current job even though they hate it. Why are people willing to put up with all their bosses “stuff” along with an empty career? Although there are countless reasons that I can give you to go look for a job that you like, I think there are a couple of very good reasons people don’t do so.
The first reason I can think of is people are afraid, many people are too scared to explore all the opportunities that he world has to offer, they are scared to quit their jobs because they think no one will hire them but they are wrong. One of the most common things people do when they are afraid is they freeze up and stay put. The second reason I can come up with is that people don’t think there is anything else out there for them.
Many people stay put in their current job because they are used to it, they hate it and yet they are comfortable so as long as their current job is putting a roof over their head. The third reason is people think they have security where they currently are, the large majority of people think they are secure in their current job because they have worked there for a long time, but the reality is that one doesn’t have sure security anywhere. If you hate your job there is no reason to stay there.
Your Inner Freak is the Key
Sep 1st
People tell me I am interesting all the time.
Mind you, these are typically people who live “normal’ mainstream lives. They have regular jobs and watch a lot of TV and are busy trying to keep up with everyone else. There is lots of the same-old-same-old going on.
I always ask them “what makes me so interesting?”
I get a similar answer every time. People are interested in my lifestyle, that I am always doing something new, hanging out with people who are exciting and cutting edge. I go to fun and funky events that they wish they got invited too. They find that I hold a unique perspective.
The biggest thing that interests them is that I do what I want in my life. They express a desire for all of fun and excitement that I seem to experience that is unavailable to them.
You know what?
This same fun and excitement is available to everyone.
I am nothing special.
I just know the key to living a thrilling life.
I will let you in on the secret:
Get to know your Inner-Freak.
We all have one.
It’s that part of you that craves something different.
It wants to try all kinds funky of stuff and be a bit wild.
Your inner-freak knows what will make your life fun and exciting and it is committed to feeling good.
Because of this, it knows where your happiness and success can be found.
Your inner-freak brings your own unique perspective to the world and does not care what everyone else thinks you should be doing.
It’s what makes you different, unique and allows you to stand out from the crowd.
It is right there waiting for you to release it. All you have to do is be willing to take a chance and step outside of your usual Box.
Go ahead, invite your inner freak out to play!
