Don't be afraid of that job

Hey everyone. There's something that has been rolling around in my brain a lot lately. For some reason, people are scared of jobs. Scared to take a job, and scared to quit one. Jobs are not forever. Take the job in the career field you never though you'd like. Quit the job you hate.

Don't be scared to get out into the world and try different things. Work in that resturaunt. Be a caregiver. Do the job that scares the hell out of you.

A job does not define you, it's how you do the job you have. If you work at McDonald's, make that egg mcmuffin fucking life changing. If you work at a bar, pour that beer like world peace hangs in the balance. If you work as a caregiver, go to your job every day with the intent to make an impact.

Because in every job you have the chance to change. Change the people around you, and let them change you. Try the peanut butter and pickle sandwhich your coworker always offers you half of. Sit down with a customer/client and ask them about their day.

Never forget that every person you meet has a backstory just like you do. They have family and friends. They've won and they've lost and along the way they have learned.

So take the damn job. Learn about yourself. If you don't know what you want to do with the rest of your life, find out what you don't want to do forever. 

Quit the job that drags you down, never lose sight of who you are over a job. Be happy at your job. Because chances are you will spend more time there, than you will at home. (awake that is.)

Learn what toxic personalities look like. They will be everywhere. Your manager, your coworker, your client. Learn how to deal with them, but also learn when to stop dealing with them.

For every bad manager, and owner, theres four good ones around the block.

There is no shame in quitting a job that is sucking the life out of you.

Never let anyone guilt you into being unhappy.

No matter how much the job pays, it isn't worth your happiness.

Now that doesn't mean quit your job today, and go on a vision quest to find yourself.

Rule number one: Never quit a job until you have another one garunteed.

Rule number two: Dress for the job you've applied for, not the job you had.

Rule number three: Believe you are the best goddamn thing that has ever walked through that companies door.

Take a chance and take the job.
