Reasons Why You Will Never Leave Your Job!


Ever wondered why no matter how much you complained about things whether it is the economy, your job or your job you never take action? Well, for the most part, is either laziness, fear of the unknown or rather circumstances beyond your control. The economy has messed up with our brains so much that even the unhealthiest workplace is seen as a Calvary. No matter how we complain or disgruntled we feel we still woke up, clean up, wear our best clothes and show up. Not because you love it but because we have no choice as it is of means of survival.

Best excuses I have heard so far:

"Things might get better."

"Everywhere else is just as bad."

"Quitting my job will look bad on my CV."

"I might not get another job."

            

Lately the Ministry of Information, Publicity, and Broadcasting reviewed minimum wages per month for domestic workers as follows:
               

           

 

 This outrageous review brought some things into perspective, a whole ministry sat down came up to that conclusion. Then you look at yourself can everything get worse than that, instead of actually taking action you see yourself lucky to have whatever you have that takes care of the bills. The reason why you never will never leave your job is that the world around you keeps reminding you the devil you know is better than the one you don’t know. It is because the circumstances around us have nurtured us to be loudmouth when it comes to complaining but curl to a corner when it is time to take action. Because remember action has some huge consequences. Rather than creating your own opportunities we see a job as salvation to all our problems. Waiting for some people to sit down and discuss what number of zeros that should be on your paycheck. Sad reality

We tell ourselves to work hard, but really sometimes is it not enough. Being reliable is not enough. Showing up is not enough. A typical 9 to 5 routine is not an achievement in case you didn’t know. Finding time to squeeze some TV shows or scroll your social media isn’t enough. And the next day you back at it again. A cycle of mental laziness to break unhealthy habits. So I was thinking what about you try something new. I don’t know the statics but people who are doing their own hustle but I’m sure 100% of the time they are earning more. What about cultivating a mentality of husting your own buns! Hustling for your own self development and personal growth



A habit done consistently becomes a routine that changes your mentality to strive to achieve more success. Always ask yourself how can I get better and what goals am I going to crush next. Never, I repeat Never, lose sight of your goals. If you actively add value to yourself you will benefit, it takes:

  • Commitment, time becomes valuable and the more time you invest in yourself and spend time on your goals. Remember people only notice consistency and it can be achieved through commitment.
  •  Consistency in thoughts and actions. Fuel your aspirations to have creativity and ideas flowing. People notice consistency not announcements. Don’t be all talk but no action.
  •  Efficiency, you figure out what works best and what doesn’t. What to cut out of your routine and what to do. Sacrificing things that will not help you become the person you are striving to be. Ask yourself the hard questions: Will binge watching series help you get those business ideas rolling? Well, I don’t think so.

If you don’t have that moment of self-evaluation once in a while. Guess what? You will never leave that job, and neither hard work to impress your boss or being reliable to be named an employee of the month will ever bring you the satisfaction you yearn for until reevaluate how it is adding to your growth. Well, I’m just saying, I hope I didn’t creep you out. Until next time!

Adulting They Call It! A Day In The Life Of An Adult...

📷 Hulst Wilson It was a summer morning the smell of the fresh coffee brewing filled the air – the chill breeze and the scent of the clean-shaven glass. The shrieking clock slapped me back to reality, it was time to begin adulting. For so long I was living with my parents and feeding off them. The day has dawned for me to journey into a land of no hope – job hunting ! It had become known that jobs were for the privileged and the well-connected fellas. But this didn’t mess my mantra and optimism . What a shame everyone was caught up in the web of corruption and nepotism. Tick tock… The clock sang a song of hope. I had clothes bought specially for this day rather for the last time it came from my parents’ pension. I cleared my mind and the never-dying song of unemployment from my classmates and some from streams ahead. In my head, 8 o’clock was a date, a chance to be what I always dreamt of. I hurriedly bathed, late was never part of my vocabulary. The words of my mentor vivid

#Signs It Is Time For You To Be Courageous & Take What You Want

📷 Jonathan Daniels "You can get in life what you have courage to ask for " - Oprah Winfrey When it comes to life don’t be humble and meek, take on whatever life gives you. There is a better way to take on life, that is, to be specific about what you want. As our Shona idiom goes, “Mwana asinga cheme anofira mumbereko” which simply translates to, “You only get what you have the courage to ask for.” It is the only en route to success and getting what you want. It costs zero dollars to take charge of your life, be assertive – combine your confidence with control. Trust me it is like a magnet to get attention, a step forward to getting what you want. Growing up I was a reserved and quiet person. Never asked for anything or complained. It was rooted in me and my way of life. Up until I realized that if I don’t ask for much I won’t get much. Your soul and mind will give precisely what you unconsciously tell it, nothing more or nothing less. Being a considerate soun

Self-Confidence: Spread Some Good Vibes!

📷  Caique Silvah Through my walk in life, I have encountered different characters, personalities, with different lifestyles as well. I witnessed intense happiness, sorrow, sadness, anxiety, and depression. Every feeling you may think of. The best part of being an introvert, you observe and witness behind the scenes for clear sight. I have discovered the force that defines people’s emotions. It shapes people characters, attitude and the way they act. Upon the realization that self-confidence shapes us, I was intrigued and thought this is a topic that needs devouring to feed my curiosity. What really is self-confidence? I asked a couple of people to get a sense of how self-confidence speaks to them and how it is related to performance. Here is a snippet of what they said: “Self-confidence is the trust one has in their own abilities and qualities. It is important yeah…as a contributor to success but it is not everything.” “Possibly the more self-confident one
