RE: How to Know if Your Job is Killing You
Awesome article man, very personal as always
It does not blend with who I am.
This is where I'm at, I'd say my job is soul crushing, but it's not, my soul be too strong for this job to crush me. It does, however, remind me everyday that I'm wasting my life doing something for someone else instead of the work I could be doing that I feel would actually make a difference. Plans to quit soon, I'm going to take a shot and risk my security for happiness and fulfillment
Well that's exciting and terrifying at the same time! What will that look like for you? If you don't mind sharing. And thanks for the encouragement. It is always nice to get affirmation after making the decision to share personal details.
OOOOooohhh you want the deets huh? I'll try to give you the gist:
Basically I read Gary Vees crushing it, which is about social media, so I want to create an online presence using a blog, vlog, podcast, and other stuff. Not sure how quickly I will be able to get each up and running, but I have basically all the content and ideas. The other thing backing this up is some spiritual teachings that basically say we get what we claim, if we claim we struggle with money we will struglle with money, if we believe we will succeed we will.
I've gotten to the point where I feel like I can really succeed with some spiritual content by reorganizing some of the teachings I've picked up in a way that is more easily acccessible to the masses, I think we are on the verge of a massive spiritual revolution. I'm also going to combine it with ways to heal the body, relationships, and other stuff.
It's a big project in my head that I am just now starting to make something of and it's a big risk, but I'm at the point where if I don't do something I love and am passionate about and think will actually impact people's lives I will just die a slow death. Security is an illusion anyways
Damn brother, that's an awesome vision. Yes, security really is an illusion. Obviously, not having food or shelter is different in a lot of ways. Choosing to follow the pack because it feels safe may work out for you, but you're not guaranteed that security for your compliance. There is risk, but it is just a different risk than the one you are currently under. Cheers.
