Changing Jobs Made Easier.
Most office-goers have the same issue with their job today – they don’t enjoy it as much as they would have liked. They would often complain that it’s only a myth that anyone can enjoy his/her job and still get paid for it. It could be you, a friend or anyone from your family. But three out of five people today dread going to office and spending eight hours every day. Ever wondered why people can’t hit a common ground with their jobs? The answer lies in the difference between a job and a career, or the perceive difference between these terms.
All Work and No Play.
We go clueless if we have to talk about work and play in the same breath. The off-days are either spent resting or with friends and family, hanging out or in the comforts of one’s home. Playing or any amount of physical activities is often thought of as tiresome, fatigue-inducing and unachievable. In their mid-twenties, when people start earning and going to office, a trend of discontinuing and negating all physical exercise from their routine starts cultivating, albeit rather compulsively.
Have Purpose, Will Live
Purpose is an important, meaningful word. The journey that we undertake, as humans with intellect and emotion, from the moment our lives begin until it starts to fade away, has a very meaningful purpose: the life itself. Although the degree of purpose varies from person to person, the fact remains that all of us focus on maximising our time and opportunities to achieve that purpose. Many of us do lose out on our purpose once we approach our twenties, we should not let life shut its doors on us. Today, we talk about how to bring back purpose into our lives in five meaningful ways.
Determination is the Key!
Determination is another word for resoluteness. Every morning, when we start from our homes for work, we are determined to achieve something. We want to be a winner and accomplish all our goals. It is in a way a feeling of standing firmly in the face of opposition. That firmness, in turn, tells on your character and purpose, the admiration you have to reach the altar of your obstacles, however exhausting. Determination, in other words, is the absence of uncertainty and weakness. It is not allowing anyone of anything to come in your way and the goal you are out to meet.
Believe in Yourself.
Oftentimes, believing in yourself is an extremely hard exercise, especially for those few who show traces of low self-esteem. Always remember, individuals from both service and business verticals, that if you do not have belief in yourself, you simply cannot make your employers/employees, investors, well-wishers, partners, customers believe that you can change the world. You must have heard how “the only person who can pull you down is yourself. . .”
It Takes a No to say “No”.
Stop saying “Yes” to everything! When you don’t want to do something: the party you don’t feel like going to, that assignment you can’t help your friend with during the weekend because you have other commitments, the business deal you don’t want your company to commit to just yet, the additional project you are told to take on at work when you are alarmingly nervous of nearing the previous one’s deadline, and in many other decisions, from petty to life-altering ones such as a new job, new city, relationship, marriage et al, you can’t help but say “Yes”, either succumbing under the weight of your own self-righteousness or just out of habit or just to please your peers and family.
