Becoming happier in your work is not something that comes easy. If it was, you more than likely would have done so already.
One of the reasons you may remain in your work even though you are not happy, is that you have considered the cost. It is not a cost you are willing to pay, at least not right now.
I find that “not right now” eventually become permanent until a firing or layoff occurs.
I also am aware that this is not something one does overnight or even anytime soon. This is not what this post and episode is about anyway.
What you’ll discover in this episode is three ways you can become happier in your work even at your current job. You will also hear the term “a square peg in a round hole” and what that means.
The 3 ways outlined are:
1. Know your strengths; why you do what it is you do
2. Seek a position that fits your strengths
3. Change your job if the above two do not happen.
Bonus:
4. Become your own boss.
If you are feeling like you are a square peg trying to fit in a round hole and it has now become unbearable, make sure you make a decision to do something different as outlined in this episode.
