Jobs that we HATE to go to!!! (There's a way out: Find what you love to do in this life)

Good evening y’all (or at least it is on my end). I wanted to touch upon the working world and being a part of a company. We have a job? Yes, we’re blessed. We’re making money? Yes, but we definitely think we should get paid more!!! The question is how do we get out of a job that we deeply despise to go to every morning? I don’t know yet? Still trying to figure that out! But in the meantime of losing your mind and trying to figure everything out (it’s okay, I do this too). Try to really sit down and think about what you truly love/enjoy doing. Once you do that, act on it. We say we want to do all these cool stuff (dreams, aspirations, goals) & we want more in life, but you MUST act on what you love to do. (I tend to procrastinate a lot, so I just want to instill this point to y’all so you can take advantage of what you truly love in this life).

Once you apply this into your everyday routine, try to find other people that share your common interests. (Use social media! We live in a time where you can search for whatever you need at your fingertips). Try to network (I’m an introvert, so it’s generally hard to speak to people sometimes, but if you want your dream to become a reality- just go for it! What do you have to lose? Sometimes life can throw a curveball at us and we seem stuck, not knowing where to go or what direction to turn to. Stay in faith it’ll all work out( the universe is on your side), even though it may seem like your going backwards. You could also be stuck in a rut and know deep down inside you want to get out of a job, but not know what it is you truly want to do as a job (I kinda fit in this category). You may have an idea that you want to start a business, or want to be an entrepreneur, etc., but not know how to get there quite yet... that’s fine. (Great things take time). In the midst of the storm, go out and keep yourself, your mind and your thoughts active. A little overview of my situation: I work at a job I'm not too fond about. After I graduated college, I wanted to dive in deep and get a job ASAP. I was tired of working as a customer service representative (worst job EVER, lol, but I got through it... for the money) My job search was a struggle. It took me 4 months to find a job after college, and although that might not sound like a long time, it seemed as if it was eternity for me. Through prayers and my constant chats with God, I received a job where I’m at right now. I was beyond excited because it was my first after college job! By the time I started the job, week two I was in tears. I couldn’t believe that I was crying tremendously at the job I just got. I knew in that very moment things needed to change. I had to really step up and find deep within myself what I wanted to do in this life.

In my first blog post where I briefly discussed myself with y’all I touched upon making beats + my writing poetry. I wanted to make that into a reality. The only downfall was my “popularity factor.” I lacked music connections(which ultimately is what you need if you want to succeed in this industry) “This f***ing industry is cutthroat” like Drake said, lol (love him by the way, in case you haven't read my first post). But I refuse to give up. I make beats when I really feel it coming. You can’t rush your craft. Back to my love for writing. I breathe it. I am it. I love it. (I have my own blog for crying out loud). I one day hope to successfully find a way where I can create my own job field and not have it categorized as what we think a certain job title is. It's hard because I feel as if i'm at a dead end, but I know that my perseverance keeps me going. My best advice to you out there is keep going. Life is tough, right now might be tough. As the travel and food connesoir of this generation, I leave you this quote from my all time favorite travel guy, Anthony Bourdain: “As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life — and travel — leaves marks on you. Most of the time, those marks — on your body or on your heart — are beautiful. Often, though, they hurt.”

Stay tuned to see what topic I discuss next.
