Don’t Waste Your Life Doing Work You Hate
You ALWAYS have options.
My dad wasted his entire life on a job he hates.
It turned him into a grumpy, resentful, uncaring old man.
He’s planning on retiring this year, but a life of chain smoking to manage stress has caused his health to fail, which means his “golden years” probably aren’t going to be that bright.
I’ve always seen him as a cautionary tale.
A clear example of what NOT to do if you want a chance at a happy life.
My best friend is following in my father’s footsteps.
He still works at the same shitty law firm I left over a decade ago.
And he complains every single day about how miserable he is there.
“So, why not leave?” I ask.
The excuses are always the same.
I’ve got bills to pay, and
I don’t know what else I’d do.
Yeah, we’re all in the same boat, buddy.
Yet, some of us do get out.
What I’ve learned from having this conversation countless times is that the real reasons people stay “stuck” in situations that make them unhappy…
