Posted by Do you frequently find yourself saying “I hate my job but I can’t quit?” Are you caught in a situation where you are miserable at work but are unable to quit because of a lack of savings or sheer overwhelm? If you can relate to this, know that you are not alone and there are specific actions you can take to improve your professional life.
You are probably working in a toxic workplace where you face challenges at work, belittlement, humiliation, bullying, incompetence, lack of support, and other negative experiences that prevent you from growing or learning. You might put on a poker face to hide your true emotions from others, go home, and cry.

If the shoe fits, then you are at point A (your hate job) and you want to get to point B (your dream job). You wish to change your state of being from unhappy to happy.
Point B is the place of contentment, happiness, better relationships, health, and financial abundance.
Point A represents your present state of existence; it is where you are right now.
Point A is located inside your comfort zone, also known as your danger zone or dead zone because there are no risks, failures, opportunities for growth, success, or happiness there.
You can experience risk, failure, growth, success, and happiness when you step outside of your comfort zone.
The real you is also not inside, but rather outside of your comfort zone.
Therefore, you have to step outside of your comfort zone to discover who you really are. It’s all about learning to be at ease with discomfort.
In the end, you want to be at point B. It’s your idealized version of the life you want to lead.
Now, rather than sugarcoating your situation and telling yourself it’s not that bad, you need to face the facts about where you are.
It must be seen for what it is.
Now it’s important to establish the gap between where you are and where you want to be.
This gap is the key to your motivation, your drive and hunger to want to close the gap by achieving the goal.
So, how do you get from A to B?
There are three-step processes to get from point A to point B.
1st step: FIND your passion, as it will be your fuel to get you from point A to point B.
2nd step: DEVELOP your passion. It’s about growing, learning, and becoming an expert in your field so you can impart something.
3rd step: GIVE the world access to your passion. It’s about leaving a legacy, changing the world for the better, and about helping others.
So the three steps are to discover your passion, nurture it, and share it with the world.
You were born on this earth to be of value, to serve, and to aid others. Living a meaningful life is what it means to be alive.
May this sharing provide benefits and guidance for you.
