Life Is Too Short To Have The Wrong Job

Life is too short to have the wrong job, to invest time and energy in something that is far from what you want to do and what you identify with, and that makes one unhappy and gives anxiety and frustration.

We all know how difficult it can be to find that “ideal job”: a job that you can identify with. Most of us are content with having a job because it can be difficult to find one from the beginning.

It is probably the case that many of us have the wrong job; they do help us survive, but they fill us with apathy.

We suggest that you reflect on this.

The experience of having the wrong job

Many of us have had many jobs before we finally find what we like and that makes us happy. It is difficult to have a job situation that does not make us grow as people, but rather fills us with frustration.

According to a study conducted at Rhode Island University in the USA, you can feel satisfied with the job you have even if you are not perfect for it.

But on the other hand, and as many of us have experienced, having the wrong job can cause difficulties in the long run.

The consequences of having the wrong job

• You feel that you are not adding anything, neither to society nor to yourself.
• Wrong jobs cause frustration, stress and a low quality of life that also shows up in our personal relationships.
• You feel prevented, that you can not advance in any direction.
• You do not feel appreciated and you do not feel that you get help with what you do.
• One can feel a low self-esteem that can make one become negative.

The union between one’s cold and one’s ability to find the ideal job

We know that it is not easy to find our dream job or at least a job that makes us feel good about ourselves and where we can contribute to society. In any case, we must all adapt to a changing environment and offer something new that the outside world needs.

It is not easy to do this, and therefore it is worth reflecting on the interesting aspects that Professor Sir Ken Robinson addresses in his book “The Element”.

“The Element” is simply a point that affects everything that makes us good and that we enjoy doing. An environment with this point is ideal for us to find a job that we like.

If you do not learn to make mistakes, you will never succeed with something original

Having the wrong job can bring with it two good things: you succeed in discovering what your boundaries are, and what you are willing to accept and not.

Another aspect to keep in mind is that one should accept one’s faults and limitations. They are an invitation to change.

Creativity is applied intelligence

Being creative in the job world means offering a different product with greater value. However, you should also keep in mind that in order to be creative, you must stay active and be able to perceive the environment, reflect and even connect with yourself and others.

What determines your life is not what you have, but what you do with what you have

There are those who feel blocked and do not know how to react or in which direction to go. The way you deal with these situations will affect what happens.

You can certainly be lucky sometimes, but this is something you need to take advantage of. One must stimulate intuition and take advantage of the opportunity.
