After a long day working for someone else, you feel undervalued and lack a sense of purpose. As a result, you tune out. You feel worn out while helping someone else fulfill their dreams—a Houston, TX employer.
We’ve all been there, and can tell you this isn’t how life has to be. You can get up every morning loving what you do. Those who tell us otherwise, simply haven’t found this for themselves. Misery loves company, are we right?
We’d like to see you find that purpose.
1. Find out what life should feel like
The goal is not to live in a state of constant bliss. That would get old fast. The human brain loves to feel needed and valued. It wants to make a difference.
This will look a little different for everyone. But if there’s one thing we’d like to see you avoid, it’s chasing after unrealistic perpetual happiness. Real happiness is found in feeling a sense of purpose—whatever that means to you:
- Dog sitter
- Soap maker
- Professional grocery shopper
- User experience design
- Lawn care
2. Take inventory of your strengths and skills
If you’re working in a job you hate, then you’re not working to your strengths, and it’s just holding you back by dangling a steady paycheck in front of you. Job security is a myth. When you unveil the illusion, you’ll see that you are the only job security you have.
What if you could have a career where you feel confident, needed, respected and valued? This happens when you work to your strengths.
3. Learn to trust yourself
Maybe you have responsibilities and obligations. You need to hold onto a sure thing, even if you hate what you do. But here’s the truth. It’s draining you day by day.
Now, imagine if you were putting that same energy toward a job you love. Your energy would feel endless because you’re in the flow now. You give and you feel rewarded for it—not just with money (yes, that’s important too!), but with a sense of making a difference.
That’s what’s missing! Trust that you can do this better. You are in control of your own destiny. If you need to start doing what you love on the side, that’s okay too! Trust YOU.
4. Feel the fear! Still do it!
Confident people still feel fear. But because they trust themselves, they know they can roll with the punches and always come out on top. If there’s one thing we’ve learned from video games, it’s that you’re going in the right direction when you run into enemies. Art imitates life. The way forward is facing that fear and getting to the other side.
