How to work because i love to, not because i have to
"If you're not happy with your current job, you have a responsibility to yourself to do all you can to change things"
How I did it: I realised in my old job that things really weren't getting any better, so I set myself an ultimatum. I didn't quit straight away but the fact that I knew I was going to leave made everything much easier. I had nothing else to go to but since I was only 32 at the time I didn't feel like it would be too hard to find something else. In the end I moved to Berlin with my girlfriend and found work there. The work was OK, but not exactly what I wanted. So I left after six months and have now found myself in a job with good colleagues and a lot of new things to learn.
Lessons & tips:
- It's all relative. Sometimes all you have to do is change your perspective.
- Worrying is always worse than doing - we build up awful realities in our heads that we can't possibly know in advance to be true.
