That feeling you’ve been given is a sign that something needs to change.īe thankful you have that feeling, because not everyone gets it. Don’t try to mask it or to persist through it. Other times, we simply accept that we made a wrong choice and that there is nothing we can do about it now besides trudging on in misery.ĭon’t ignore that misery.
Sometimes we try to fight the feeling and force the suboptimal situation to feel right again. We clearly have made a wrong choice that got us into this suboptimal situation. When we feel miserable or unhappy about a situation, we automatically view that feeling as a bad sign.
If you’re sitting there, miserable day after day, then that means you’re already wrong about something major in your life, and until you’re able to question yourself to find it, nothing will change.” “It’s worth remembering that for any change to happen in your life, you must be wrong about something. There is no growth within one’s comfort zone, because there is no failure there. If you want something different, something extraordinary, you have to risk failure. And “if you always do what you’ve always done, then you will always get what you’ve always gotten.” There are no high rewards without high risks. Which is absolutely fine! It is absolutely fine to want to live a very ordinary life.īut why, then, does everyone seem to dream of an extraordinary life? Of immense “success?” Of wild and unique experiences? In other words, it has a low risk of failure. We’ve watched everyone else already take this path, and we’ve seen that they all turned out fine. Even if what we know isn’t necessarily all that great, we tend to stick to “the devil we know over the devil we don’t.” We prefer to follow the path already taken by everyone else, because we know already how it goes. – Mark Manson, The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck If we’re unwilling to fail, then we’re unwilling to succeed.” We can be truly successful only at something we’re willing to fail at. “At some point, most of us reach a place where we’re afraid to fail, where we instinctively avoid failure and stick only to what is placed in front of us or only what we’re already good at. But the truth is, most of us are forgoing that freedom we claim to want and instead choosing to enjoy lack of total responsibility. Once we all start “the real world,” we are very unanimous in wishing we had more freedom over our time. You see, as a young kid, I already realized there was a trade off between lack of responsibility and freedom.īut I don’t think most of us actually ever realize that. (It is of course super ironic that I eventually proceed to do a total 180 in about sixteen months of working in corporate.) That’s too scary! I’d much rather have someone else make all the big decisions, just tell me what to do, and I get a secure, regular pay check.” I would always respond, “Nah, I don’t want to be my own boss. He said, “There is nothing better than being your own boss.” (For context, he is not his own boss). When I was a kid, my dad always advised me that I should have my own company when I grow up. I was risking away my opportunity to spend my life doing the things I want to do. Everyday I was still in that job, I was taking the biggest risk of all in my mind.
When I finally quit my corporate desk job without a plan, a lot of people told me how brave I was being to take such a risk.īut to me, that wasn’t really the risk.
And even though tomorrow is never promised, it is likely, so we still need to plan and save for the future. Of course, we all have to put in work now to reap rewards later. – Randy Kosimar, The Monk and the Riddle: The Education of a Silicon Valley Entrepreneur “And then there is the most dangerous risk of all – the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later.” So, without further ado, here are ten motivational quotes to quit your job and work to live your best life. Below are some that really stuck with me over the past few years and helped me make the decision to finally quit my corporate job. Sometimes you come across one that just hits you where you need to be hit. I don’t know about you, but I’m really big on quotes.
