This is one of the things I consider myself to be pretty good at. When to let things go, And when to stay. But lately, I've been dealing with a lot of emotions. And I second guess myself.
I think I just miss certain aspects of my old life. Because this new life I have, Seems too easy. It's not chaotic at all. It's too calm.
So many people start feeling that they've outgrown their current opportunities. And yet they stay put without much thought.They stay in that relationship, The job the hate. Whatever it is, The options run out. So they stay put.
Opportunities Dwindle
Have you ever felt that you are at a dead end? That you are stuck living the same life every day because there doesn't seem to be any new opportunities to pursue? This is one indication that you've outgrown your current situation. And you need to start coming up with new goals for yourself.
Things Feel Too Easy
A big reason I left my janitorial job And left my job at UPS. Was because things got too easy. There wasn't a challenge anymore, and i wasn't learning anything new. Part of me wanted to stay at both jobs because I was happy. I loved both jobs. But many of the qualities I once Had loved were gone. At UPS, My favorite supervisor had quit, And I wasn't as close to my coworkers as I once was. I switched shifts to try to improve things. But that only made it worse. The daily schedule I had was too easy. Then at my Janitorial job. I had been cleaning that same Elementary school for six years. I was so attached to that place And considered it my second home. But the job was too easy, and I started losing the passion I had once had. It became so boring I could barley get through a shift.
This is a sign that you've outgrown your job. And should look for something that will challenge us. Many people don't realize that part of being successful is about the challenges we face each day to become stronger. Even though deep down I miss my jobs even now. I know that I wasn't learning or growing from working at these places. So I left to become Self-employed.
The Future Doesn't seem any different from today
Sometimes when I'm missing my good old days at a regular job. I remind myself that If I would have stayed. My life wouldn't have changed at all. I would be in the same life that I had before. As a result, I probably would have felt like a failure. You can't have the same daily routine every day and later expect different results. It just doesn't work that way.
We often like to blame the aspects of our lives that we hate as an effort to justify the areas in which we are failing.
But then sometimes those things we hate, Disappear, and we are in the same situation we were before.
We didn't make a change. Because those things that we thought were inhibiting our ability to be successful, Weren't inhibiting us at all.
Some people claim that they are broke because they don't make enough money. While there are a lot of people out there, Not making enough money. Many of us, Even if we got that raise. Would only raise our lifestyles to eventually eat up that raise. So that raise wouldn't change our minds at all. We would still feel "broke."
If you have outgrown your life, It's up to you to make that change. So you can have a better life. Don't make excuses. When Things become too easy, Your future doesn't look better, And your opportunities seem to be going away, It's time to move on. Look at the lives of others, Or explore new interests to get some ideas of what you'd like to do in your life.
