Quitting isn’t the answer

If we are sitting here on a Sunday afternoon dreading tomorrow and a return to our work, instead of enjoying the moment, the view, the chilling and time to contemplate, then maybe it is time to make a change.

Change does not have to be quitting your job, it might be seeing our jobs and life through a new lens, one that sees what is rather than looking for what our minds want to see and believe about them.

Our reality is uniquely ours as we create it in our thought and beliefs, so how I see the world will be completely different to every single one of the other 8 billion humans.

If I dread Monday, not only do I numb myself to now, my real life, I create anxiety within me and when Monday does come, I do not enjoy it and wish I was elsewhere.

Quitting something however does not solve the problem as whatever is or was troubling us is our internal state which then manifests the external world, so unless we change the internal state, nothing will change from changing jobs, cars, houses, partners, clothes whatever else.

When we accept what is, when we become present in this moment, we can then react from a place of calm and peace, we can change how we choose to see the world and if we believe that the world is what we want to be then we can change how we see all things. That means that we can still quit our jobs if they are not nourishing our souls and if they are not what we truly want to be doing from our heart and soul.

Quitting isn’t the answer…learning our why and doing things from our heart is.

Them

I talk about ‘them’ or ‘people’ as if it doesn’t include me.

It’s as if I’m above them or superior. I no longer do this or that. I’m enlightened!! I’m floating on my cloud in my zen like state.

Who am I kidding? I still have the same challenges as others. I’m still on a journey and I still throw stones in my glass house.

We are all on our journeys and no need to ever judge another or feel better or worse. We could choose to see ourselves as one and show compassion and love. Rather than see others as them.

When we stop to truly see others without the lenses of our mind then we are respecting the other person and allowing them to be seen.

We all want that.
