Those 8 months before Resignation were….
I have worked for almost 3 years now and that was enough tenure to understand the worth of myself and the work I offer.
Well, my heart was fixated on One thing and only one thing that is Writing.
I love writing so much that I could do it all day. But the problem was just wasn’t earning much with it.
Money because my main source of encouragement or discouragement at one point and that I realised lead to nowhere.
I had good bosses, Good opportunities, but nothing felt right, it almost felt like I wasn’t great full for what I’ve gotten and I carry to gratitude to how far I’ve come in my career. But what?? I work in a healthcare sector in India. And all we get paid is peanuts, the position and the good boss would pay for my vacations, they would pay my TV subscriptions, my groceries, my mother’s peace of mind and mine.
I was completely discouraged when I allowed myself to take up a role that was so far away and I had to find a way to balance the distance from my home to the clinic and the distance for my mom and her office.
Although we shifted to the middle. It was still too far and considering the traffic my mother took almost 1.5 hours to cover 6 kms each day, back and forth. And thay frustrated me, do I love my job more than my mom?
Why did I put her health at stake for this role.
I had to readjust my priorities, working for a good bosses did not mean I should put comfort and my mom’s health at risk.
No!! It was obviously time to quit. But you Know what. One thing was weirdly very clear in my head that I do NOT want to work in the same profession again.
I wanted to have More time. I wanted to be more determined to saying goodbye to my 9–5 once and for all. Because a New Job meant, new problems. So nope.
I have been quite determined at earning well with writing and have gathered enough determination and courage to do so. Hence, all I will do is just wait for results and continue doing what I do.
The rut almost takes the life away from you.
My mother has worked in the same company for over 20 years now, and I don’t knownhow she does it. I do not think she enjoys it either. Yes, she loves being praised for her work, she is happy when her colleagues look up to her for her expertise.
But, is she really happy waking up every morning at leaving home for work?
I don’t think so, and she doesn’t tell.
The reason I’m sharing this stroy with you is the understand the importance of taking a strong stance at the earliest so that Uou and I do not be revolving around our bosses all our lives.
There is no way we can get out of this after we have been conditioned and brainwashed.
The kind of Brainwahsing I need in my life is that Blogging and writing will bring me abundance. It will bring all the joy that I could give to my very deserving mama.
So, I hope it inspires you to take up freelancing, or any other route of your passion and leave that toxic job. Leave any place which doesn’t suit you.
The World is Huge and full of opportunities, millions of free sources to learn new courses and Re-start your life again. Create something valuable and Fulfilling.
I think Fulfilling our own dreams would make the world a better place
Thank you for reading.
Come again,
