Your One Job Is To Be Happy

Always reach for a better feeling.

How much of our lives are spent in unhappy situations, with a partner who makes us unhappy, or in a job we hate.

In these situations, what would you do?

Would you leave the relationship or try to make it work?

Ask yourself the same question with your job.

Would you try to have a heart-to-heart with your boss to see if you can create a different scenario, or would you decide that it just isn’t worth the effort?

Any action you take has an impact on your life and your happiness. You could give up an opportunity and trade it for a worse situation, but you’ll never know until you try it.

I’ve worked in a few jobs where you could say I wasn’t inspired. I really wanted to go out on my own, write my novel, and live a more intentional life by design. I noticed after I left these roles, my happiness increased significantly.

Of course, being a self-employed writer wasn’t my first choice because I have heard of so many unhappy writers and poor writers, that I definitely did not want to be either.

I think that there is something to be said for creating your own career on your own terms.
