What up netbitches? So the question for today is, "when do you quit your job?" You know, if you have a job. I mean, it is a little strange that you're up reading this so late at night. I kid, I kid.
The next time you walk into your job, pay attention to the reaction your mind, body, and spirit has as you walk in the door.
Does your mind instantly begin to fill with dread? Do you suddenly become aware of a knot in your neck, does your stomach gurgle and burn, does your head throb?
Do you let out a deep, long sigh?
That's when I first began to contemplate a change. I had already begun to do the ALARM-OH-SH*T-OK-NOW-I'M-AWAKE-F*CK-I-DON'T-WANT-TO-GO-TO-WORK waking thought every weekday morning. But I had for so long really loved my job, that I could easily talk myself back into it..."people would kill to have your job"..."you're so lucky to even have a job with this economy"...blah blah blah f*cking blah.
But after months of this self administered morning pep talk, it finally happened. As if I was outside of myself and watching...almost in slow motion I "watched" as I opened the door to my offices I walked as if I was walking to my execution, and then I let out a long, deeeeeep sigh. I felt a thick, heavy wave of depression wash over me. What's the deal, McNeil? I was just in a good mood 10 seconds ago! It wasn't even depression really...it was a feeling of utter hopelessness. I felt completely hopeless. That is when I knew.
So listen to your body. Listen to the little you inside of you. No status, no amount of money is worth making the little you suffer. Be happy as often as you can. I'm not saying go in tomorrow and tell your boss to eat sh*t and die. [oh reader, wouldn't that be almost worth it?] But make a change. Make a plan and follow through. Do it. You can do it. I don't even know you, but I bet if you really make up your mind you'll know what to do and you will do it. Life is too short. Don't waste another day.
It's a corny old saying, but there is wisdom in this: "do what you love, and you'll never work a day in your life."
