As an adult life can sometimes get very repetitive, drab and boring. Wake up, go to work, come home and repeat.(It seemed like even the dwarfs knew this!)
Depending on your job/career you may love it and be passionate about it or you may detest it but stay because it "pays the bills".
When an average workweek can range anywhere from 16 to 40 hours a week it can become easy to find SOMETHING wrong. Perhaps it's the hours, the responsibilities, the commute time, the co-workers, the politics, the drama, or the most common complaint is the pay. The list goes on and on, that is if you let it.
I guess my question to you reading this post is this, " Is it really that bad"?
When people in developing countries work 70 hours a week, sleep maybe 4 hours a day, don't get proper breaks, get paid $5ish a day, don't get benefits, and work in dangerous environments....
Is work really that bad? My guess is, unless you are being bullied/harassed at work, your work doesn't compare to the conditions of those in impoverished nations.
So instead of thinking so negatively about our jobs, or thinking that we always need to be looking for the "better job", or complaining...why don't we start with gratitude.
Be thankful that you have work! Be thankful that you have food and clean water. Be thankful that you have a means to an end.
If we always look at our own jobs negatively how will we ever be satisfied?
