When it comes to your dreams and ambitions, you shouldn’t have limits. It is unfortunate that this is something that must be said. Take a moment to truly take stock of what you are doing…what you want to be doing…where you are and where you want to be. These are the things that far too often are not contemplated fully. Take a moment…pffff…take longer…
This is a critical thing to think about and it needs ample time and attention. If you’re not going to give it the proper attention, no one else will either.
You are the one who holds the key to your own future and your own fate in your hands. If you are unhappy in your station, it is because you have allowed yourself to be pinned there. Whether it be by your own need to pay bills, need for a sense of security, or feelings of guilt or obligation to your job or station.
First and foremost, your obligation is to your spouse and children…. if you are single, then your obligation is to yourself. No matter how nice or friendly your boss or coworkers are, at the end of the day, their obligation is to their families or to themselves. You owe no one to stay in your station. You have every right to purse whatever station is going to make you the happiest. We spend far too much time at our jobs, for it to not be the passion that drives us to be there. If you are driven by passion or conviction of purpose, then embrace your job and love what you do. If not, seek happiness elsewhere.
Secondly, money can always be made, and it can be made in so many ways. You need not feel obligated to stay in a spot in which you find no joy simply because of a need to earn a paycheck; this is not the way things were intended to be for us.
What it boils down to is you finding what it is you want out of life. You only get one chance to live it, let’s not waste it. Figure out what it is you want to be doing and let’s get there already…or at the very least, let’s take some steps to get there. Don’t waste another minute not seeking what you want. And be sure to go big…why settle?…that’s what you’ve already been doing. It is time now to go get it.
