I cannot imagine the thought of having to go out to work and perform a job that I do not like or am not happy with. According to the Conference Board research group, only 45% of American people are satisfied with their jobs. That leaves 55% of the population that is unhappy with their job. Can you imagine, a doctor or healthcare provider training all these years and deciding that they do not like their job or the people they take care of? Scary.
Not being satified on the job can have a profound impact on not only how you do your job, but how you are left feeling at the end of the day.
Let’s take a look at your job satisfaction level.
- Do you think it is important to enjoy your job or are you just in it for the money?
- Do you think that when you enjoy your job your life is fuller?
- Is it important for you to be able to express yourself through the work you do?
- Do you feel that when it comes to the work you do, you can either be happy or make money—not both so you have to sacrifice one for the other?
In the past, enjoying your job was considered a foreign concept by some. Most people were raised to grin and put up with the jobs that they had. Going for a job that you enjoyed was considered to be stupid. It was only important that you had security and that earned that all-important paycheck.
People who are working at jobs they enjoy, have more fun in their lives than those who tolerate their situation.
It is important to know that you can create a life that you love and a job that you enjoy. More people are evaluating what is really important to these days and going for their passions.
- Do you think it takes courage to go after your passions?
- Are you snuffing out your passions and accepting a second-best life or third-best life?
Now is the time to re-evaluate your life and focus on what is important to you. What are you willing to do to have your job provide you the satisfaction you want? I invite you to respond in the box below.
