Wrong To Be Content At Work?

[McMonster]

Hi All,

I've been at my job for over 7 years now and recently I feel like I'm being judged by others for not pursuing opportunities/advancements with more money, responsibilities and status.

Im happy with my job, I like the people I work with and it gives me the means to pay the bills and live a comfortable life. I do not want for more stuff I actually want fore less stuff in my life.

While I don't find my work particularly challenging i find I challenge myself in other ways like delving deeper into learning about my interests and recently into self development, awareness and living a simpler more fulfilling life.

Im not sure why it gets to me and I know I shouldn't care what people think about my choices...these are things that I'm contemplating about at the moment.

Does everyone go through this at the beginning of their new journey? Anyone with any insights?

I used to be the same way. I though I had a great job and I did not really see any other way. Bills were paid, occasional travel, felt like I had all I needed. Never had a strong sense of purpose until I discovered actualized.org channel. Now I feel like my life is upside down just because of all the habits I'm implementing and actually I have more stress than I had before just because I am terrified but still believe that down the road of 15-20 years it will all connect and it will all be worth it. 

My advice to you is don't listen to other people but try to listen to the voice deep within you. Does it say that maybe, just maybe, there is something else out there for you? If you ask it, it will give you signs. Create a meditation habit and get in touch with your true original humanity, the tiny flame that we all have in us. 

Or if you have extra money, try taking Leo's life purpose course. I bet something will come out.

That being said, if you feel like you are not ready or that you really don't need change, than stay as you are and see where it leads you. Maybe you already have your ideal life without realising it. And maybe the voice within you will start to grow stronger.
