You just want to go in and do your job but you are surrounded by colleagues who spend their time gossiping and complaining about the boss, the job, the deadlines, something, anything. Then there are those who just never seem to pull their weight and you end up doing some part of their job as well as your own. It makes you crazy! You want to work in an environment where people get along, and work as a team, where everyone pulls their weight. Wake up! You are living in Fantasyland! There just ain’t no such place!
People are going to be people no matter where you go. Happiness comes from within. Those external issues that keep you from enjoying your job are just a diversion. You are skirting the real problem. You are not aligned with what you are doing.
It’s time to take a look at what is really going on within you. It is time to align with your purpose; acknowledge your authentic self. Those little irritations are a nudge telling you to look deeper.
Maybe you are in the right career and just need a change in perspective.
Maybe you are in the right career field but need to be looking at a different aspect of it.
Maybe this is not the career that is aligned with your purpose.
How do you discover which it is? You go within. By discovering what gives you peace, contentment, a sense of purpose, a sense of alignment. Discover the authentic you. Once you do and once you bring yourself into alignment with that authenticity, all those irritations we talked about above will disappear from our view. Oh, they will still exist, for others who are unaligned, but if there is nothing for you to look at, there will be nothing for you to see.
