I needed a new set of friends. My co-workers had to be the most obnoxious, depressed and unfulfilled people in the western hemisphere. (There are some serious issues in the East, and undoubtedly more severely depressed people than my co-workers). I mean I got it... I was not ecstatic about being confined to a cubicle all day, but I certainly wasn't ready to throw myself of the nearest building either. Nevertheless, I learned some invaluable lessons from my experience working in the corporate arena. One, your thoughts must be protected! If you begin to feed on the daily gossip, complaining and bickering manufactured in the office, you are setting yourself up to be as miserable as those losers. Replace those negative words with your own words of encouragement. Not about the job, but words of encouragement based on where you ultimately want to be. It's imperative that you focus on that desired outcome, have an emotional connection and belief that you will get there. Two, the other thing I quickly learned is I hate microwaveable dinners, particularly noodles, almost as much as I hate the creep that actually steals other employees lunches out the shared refrigerator! Who does that?
Furthermore, the reason most hate their jobs in the first place is because they don't have the courage to pursue their dreams. Yeah, mortgages, car payments, kids, etc... I understand for most you just can't chunk it, but at the same time you can't use those things as life long excuses either. And if you choose to do so, then park in the 24th parking space each morning, sit down in your broken chair (the one that never rises) and do your job knowing that you are choosing this existence each and every day you carry out this nauseating daily routine. I chose to break away. I mean how many times does one need to look at the company's job postings before realizing that trading one toilet for another toilet simply makes no sense when in the end, they both stink. If you don't like working on the 3rd floor, what makes you think reporting to the workaholic on the 7th floor is going to be any better.
In all seriousness, life is what you make it. If you don't have any dreams, then you are living out the pinnacle of your life. For those that do have dreams of traveling, spending more time with family, buying the car you have always wanted or building your dream home near all the great restaurants then WAKE UP and simply make it happen. Get around those that think like you, get the heck out of that mind prison resembling an office and read my next article on how to actually free yourself!
