The Rat Race = A combination of self-induced fear of poorness, a lack of choice, or the inability to adapt to new changes in the workforce, resulting in an illusion that the current job will be better than others, and thereby subjecting oneself to a life of time-consuming and unsatisfying work.
Do you dread the thought of Monday? Or wonder why the work week doesn't seem to end soon enough?
How often do you wake up in the morning and sigh, resigned to your fate of having to go through the daily grind - replying never-ending emails, sitting in boring meetings where you pretend to be listening but are actually working on a task that was due 2 days ago... You get the idea.
As you wind down at the end of a long day, do you ever imagine yourself winning the lottery, then sending your boss a beautifully-worded resignation letter which you had prepared 2 years ago and had re-written for the 7th time?
To sweeten your dream, do you imagine yourself spending the next 1 year travelling around exotic places, enjoying brunch on weekdays, and sipping a mojito on the beach at 4 in the afternoon? You get the idea.
The diagnosis of your problem is simple - you don't enjoy your job and you don't feel fulfilled in the work that you do. That is why every day feels like a drag and you yearn for something better.
So what is stopping you from escaping the daily grind?
Fear?
Doubt?
No time?
No energy?
No money?
Don't know where to begin?
If you resonate with these, you are not alone!
A few years ago, I was just like you, trapped in the daily grind, dragging myself to the office every morning and catching the last train home. It was normal to miss family get-togethers on weekends just to head back to the office. And I will never forget the times when I had to lock myself in an empty meeting room so that no one would see my tears that fall uncontrollably. If you haven't already realised, being stuck in this job affected my health and relationships negatively.
Was this the life that I wanted? Definitely not.
Did I have a choice? Yes I did.
But the reasons above stopped me from getting myself out of my predicament.
I was afraid that I would not be able to pay my bills. I had just taken on a huge credit card loan and I also had my university fees to pay off.
I was not sure if I could find another job quickly after leaving the current one, and I was not sure if the new job would be any better.
With all the overtime work that I had to do, I thought that I did not have the time and energy to look for another job that would allow me to do what I love.
I also did not know how to go about finding a job that would help me to build a career that I desire. I knew what I wanted, but I did not know how to get there.
If you identify with what I went through, and you face the same struggles now, I want you to know that you can overcome them and that you can build a career that you love too.
