Need Advice. Work And Life.

[LShock]

Over the years I've been trying to improve myself mentally, spiritually and emotionally. I feel I've come a long way. Now, all that is left is building the career I want.

I've been working a low wage dead end job for the last 8 years, in the stead of self improvement. I feel pretty stuck... I have great ethics and have expanded my understanding of business and my role in it the best I can.

I finally know what I want to do with my life, but it seems that my confidence and vision for moving forward is distorted and lacking. I'm working on my vision of my dream career, but in the meantime I'd like to improve my job while I'm also doing the other work at home.

For reference, I just want to say I've struggled with my identity and have always had support in some way with housing from family. I suppose I mean that my life has been a stagnant safe place and I'm a little out of touch with real world stress. However, I'd rather build and grow before I move on to something real... And I desire the right mentality to do that.

Any help would appreciated.

Hi Everyone,

I have been in a similar situation. Throughout my life I have taken jobs just to earn an income and to pay the bills they have not been jobs where I see myself developing a career. Currently been unemployed for two months and am at a point where I am stressed, worried thinking how am I going to pay my bills etc. I have been applying for so many jobs since the day I left my old job and not had much success. I am getting so desperate, frusrated, angry with people I am around, always negative, starting to doubt my own capabilities thinking what is wrong with me really down and depressed. The jobs that I get interviews for are only temporary 6 months here and there nothing permanent. All I want is to secure something definite and then I will feel complete. Just feel like I am pushed from pilar to post and I am not achieving anything at all. My socialise life has gone to pot I don't get out and about due to the money issue and I feel life is running away with me and I am getting left on the shelf. Relationships is another issue why is it so hard to meet genuine people these days they seem to have a one track mind. What is this world coming to. Are there like minded people going through the same as me lets talk and exchange views look forward to hearing from you all.

Thanks. I'm thinking about it. And furthermore, as one of Leos videos said from 2014, life coaches can help you make progress in three months compared to three years if you were sailing by yourself.

I'm going to ride solo and feel things out. I know there is much to learn, but the realization here is that I've been neglecting reality for what it is. The truth is that we know the answer... It just feels to late in the game... You've got to discard your fear and comfort...

The truth is you need to be either flexible and brave, or set to a career path. I, for one have been really discouraged when looking for new jobs. Ive even gone on to build negative views on the process... Feeling hopeless and worthless on top of all that. But that isn't the truth... I know. It is only projections from the outside. We're all capable and worth more than we think. But... "You must have a plan. If you don't have a plan, you become a part of someone elses plan." (Terence McKenna)

It's tough out there. Yes, lets exchange views... I for one don't want to end up in a job I hate... That's why I'm pursuing my dream job... But in the meantime I want to develop and find something decent. I think recently I see that we have to...

1. Don't give up, don't stop.

2. Consider trying for new types of work...

Like right now I'm considering anything. Industrial, food service, supermarkets, table waiting... But I'm not sure. I definately can't take a step backwards and take a pay cut... Unless it is promised that hard work will yeild raises... It's a tough situation with bills every month eating your wallet.

Also I hate having two jobs.

@LShock is you can remove 10 min daily for next three months your life can change 

5 min + affirmation : i love being confident 

5 min visualization :  visualize yourself being confident in every situation of life .

most people's life sucks because they do not have a compelling vision of how their life will unfold . strategy should inspire or its not a strategy ..
