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!

📸prettisusu It’s been a minute, last time we discussed about how it’s important to know where your partner stands in terms of them being aware of their mental stability.

I have in a fair share of relationships and it has been a hard journey of knowing how to show up for my partner/friends/family in ways they need me to vs ways I’m comfortable with.

Hence, this article, please show up for people in your life in ways they need. So what am I saying? Let me explain. Just show up and pay attention to what your partner actually needs. Don’t assume, don’t generalize we are all u...

We Are Only But Pawns In A Game Of Chase

📷 Apaha Spi Broken dreams, broken souls We are all a mess, a fallen generation We bleed, but nobody cares Somehow it is our fault We cry, nobody listens All they care about is more coin in their pockets We’re only but pawns In a game, we cannot fathom Our pain in their eyes is unnecessary drama, Our sorrow gives them an adrenaline rush, Our struggle is their entertainment They thrive from our sweat, blood and tears As it pours, so does coin drop in their pockets Every dime we earn they find ways to chuff it To them it is change, to us, it is means of survival Greedy grim reapers are what they are Always scheming of ways to suck the last coin out of us The pain inflicted by the people we traded for our hope and future It worsens by the day, but we continue to sing songs of hope It is not by choice, it is a survival instinct The thought of better days is what is keeping us sane, Nowhere to turn, refuge is the new slave To stay and ...

Body Acceptance Chronicles: I Learnt To Love The Changes In My Body

📸 Marie-Michele Bouchard   Our little conversations always carry the weight I wish the eyes would acknowledge. We keep muttering and playing with our words: you are enough but, we can not seem to convince the mind. We grew up a chubby baby for most of our life, sly comments here and there, but that is what was familiar and defined us. As we blossomed, our love grew. The height balanced out weight, whilst the weight balanced out the boobs. We were picture perfect. A sudden extreme change in our relationship came with an untimely illness that complicated our relationship. I will not deny it. I had and still have difficulties paying attention. It was a stranger, and Mama taught me never to talk to strangers. It was new territory. I felt lost. People always whispered I should lose weight but what "should" have been a dream turned my life into a nightmare. Even after preparing, many people would still be surprised when the changes crop up. It was my reality. The changes in our bo...
