RE: Create a Life You Love with the Powerful Intentions
You're so right with this. I recently started to sort through all my things and sell or give away a lot of it. It feels great to clear the clutter, as it also clears my head.
And very true: if you have to do something you're not 100% behind, it feels forced. It's a shame really that so many people have to live that way. School, study, work to pay off loans and never really living.
Yes. I have big open, empty spaces in my home (even though it is very small), and it gives me such a feeling of freedom.
I used to work in an office, (as an accountant). I absolutely detested my job. There was absolutely no way I would have ever been able to convince myself that I loved it, no matter how hard or long I would have tried. I despised that job! So, I quit, took a pay cut, and found a different direction for myself, and I have never been happier. There are still times where I have to do work I don't like so much, but then I reflect back on that awful job, and suddenly I feel completely grateful..haha.
Yes, I can imagine that. I've had my share of mind-numbing office jobs too, I just can't do it for longer periods. Now, I worked as a journalist for a publisher and part of the week I'd be in the office, but it was a nice job, amazing and fun colleagues and a lot of times I'd either be working from home or be out on the road for interviews and such, so that made the time there bearable. I can't imagine working in an office full-time. The lighting they usually use makes one depressed, let alone some of the work.
I'd only ever do it again if it was a survival situation, otherwise, no. Yes! Exactly. It was suffocating. Your journalist job does sound nice though.
