What to Do When You Hate Your Job?

The greatest joke life can crack on someone is to make him/her do what he/she never wants. How many times have you asked yourself, looking at that pay check in your hand, “Is this that ties me to this hell?” Or does the unemployed guy next door make you feel jealous due to the freedom that he enjoys? If you answered with a yes, then it’s high time you start updating your CV for a better option.

Home is where the heart lies. Same applies to your profession. What if Michael Jackson worked in the banking sector or Steve Jobs was a pop star? The only reason for them to reach such a height was because they did what they wanted to do in life. You don’t need to be in a work environment where you feel suffocated or spend several hours a day in a place you never wanted to be in. It’s nothing more than a prison where each breath reminds you of your helplessness.

It’s better late than never. So, doesn’t lose hope. Open your eyes, look around yourself! Check out your friends. What makes them so happy and content in life? It is the satisfaction that they get from their job. A happy life is not about the number of digits that you have in your pay check, it’s all about the moments of joy that you experience in doing what you want to.

Analyze yourself. What are your strengths? Do you take pleasure in writing? Why don’t you try to make a career in writing for online blogs? Did you ever feel that your voice sounds great over the microphone? Then you can be the new RJ in town! Why don’t you try your luck by using your tech savvy brain to fix household gadgets that need repair?

Open your eyes. Look around, look within. Discover your own capabilities. Life is too short, so make the most of it. Don’t bang your head against something that will give you nothing but stress, dissatisfaction and several ailments. Do what you like, live life the way you want, by doing what you want. It’s never too late.
