We're all guilty of wishing the hours away; seeking a life lived on our own terms. A life totally free of the restrictions and worries of the 9-5 working world. A life of fulfilment (see - http://www.thelawofattraction.co.uk/the-secret/ .
Nevertheless, despite this being the dream for so many people, why do so few actually choose to do anything about it? What exactly is it about the security of a 9-5 job that we are so afraid to leave behind - especially when it makes us so miserable? If you too are struggling to make that decision as to whether to leave your 9-5 job in pursuit of your dreams, then try asking yourself the following questions:
1.If Not Now, Then When?
A lot of us are guilty of postponing for tomorrow what you can do today. Whether we are disappointed with our jobs, feel trapped in a relationship or are in need of a life-style change, we promise ourselves that things will be better tomorrow to avoid taking any instant or challenging action today.
But ask yourself - if not today then when? There will always be a thousand good reasons for you not to chase your dreams and quit your day job. But when you listen to these, then you'll also have to deal with a million regrets.
2.What Will Be Different Next Time?
At times, it can be all too easy to blame our dislike of the 9-5 lifestyle on the current job role that we are in. We believe that by moving position, department or company we will resolve our entire 9-5 job related problems. Nevertheless, this isn't the case. You're in a different setting, however the early mornings, work pressures and sense of unfulfillment are still the exact same.
So if you think your way out of your 9-5 rut could be waiting in another office, then ask yourself - will doing this actually help make things any different?
3.Would you Do It If Money Wasn't An Issue?
Probably the single biggest reason that people feel unable to leave behind the 9-5 job that they hate, is that they are worried about financial security. They stress that without the stability of a 9-5 career they might not make enough money to maintain their current way of life or support their families. However, this doesn't have to be the case (see - http://www.thelawofattraction.co.uk/health/ .
But is this a genuine fear? Surely practically nothing in life can guarantee us security - even the wealthiest individuals sometimes lose it all. It's not uncommon for our fears to over exaggerate the amount of money we believe we will need.
4.If You Were Asked To Look Back On Your Life In 10 Years' Time, What Would You Want To See?
Time is often able to put things in better perspective for us. So, if you were to look back over your life in 10 years' time, what would you want to see? If it was to look the exact same as it does now, would you be happy?
The one thing that you do not want to do, is look back and feel regret for the experiences that you never had or never strived for.
5.What's The Worst That Can Happen?
Finally, if you are really struggling to take that big leap and leave the 9-5 grind once and for all, then the question that you need to ask yourself is this - what's the worst that can happen? No really, what is it?
Our imagination can be our biggest enemy, so begin to listen a little less to your fears and a little more to your dreams. You know you were born for more than this - so what's stopping you?
