what if you cant figure out your dream job?
I was stuck in searching for my dream job for some months or even years, not having any clue what could be the best thing I should strive for. Once I’d find it, I would give my everything to pursue this path. But I just can’t figure it out.
Yeah, you know that, too?
Okay. I’ve stuck in my current job for over a year now. After the learning phase I’ve realized that it was quite boring and I begun to complain, to look for something epic, for something my heart would want me to do. I’ve build more and more resistance on that topic. But lately I’ve started to enjoy it as much as I can. I stopped complaining a lot, I’ve released some resistance, I’ve accepted that right now I’m doing this job and I’ve tried to enjoy the small things in the everyday work life. It worked. Now I feel happy sometimes, while being most of the time just bored. It’s still better than being frustrated or angry, but it’s not very enjoyable, too.
But this shift in my perceptions changed my point of view on “dream jobs”. Why should I search for something that I LOVE right now, when I haven’t figured it out yet? I can still keep my eyes open, while changing my job to something slightly better, right? Yeah.. that’s what I’ve realized. Surely it is the most beautiful thing on earth to do what you love for a living, but it’s quite nice to do something you like, too. I can find a job that’s a bit more enjoyable than this one, but still not my dream job and live happily ever after, too! At least as long until I really get bored again.
Searching for the “bit better job”
When I’m enjoying this right now, then I’d enjoy the same thing in another, but cooler enviroment. Or a cooler action in the same enviroment. Not everything needs to change, but just some small adjustments could make my worklife much happier. And then, when I’m in my new job, I still can keep my eyes open for something even more fulfilling.
I’m only 20. Why on earth should I freak out on finding my LIFE PURPOSE DREAM JOB right now, when I don’t even know life really well? I rather enjoy life right now, do something enjoyable and search for a quite more enjoyable job by the side. That’s it for now.
Be happy.
