How many people think it is acceptable that you spend the greater part of your day at a job that is anywhere on the spectrum from not fulfilling and kind of annoying to something that they hate doing?

When did it become the “norm” to not like your job? To not feel like you were using your gifts and talents? That the weekends were the best part on your week?

I am here today to invite you to wake up from your work coma and reclaim your life! You are allowed to enjoy your work life, feel on purpose, use your unique gifts and feel fulfilled by what you contribute in the work place.

The only person in the way of your pursuit is you. Don’t get me wrong the stories we tell ourselves are very compelling. We use the excuse of not having enough time to make a change to not having enough money to I just don’t want to deal with that right now. And lots of other strategically placed fears that appear to be very real. I have to get through this xyz project first.

We stop ourselves consciously and unconsciously with these blocks as we accept that our natural state is to not be content in the workplace.

Time is passing by. Each moment you spend asleep at the wheel of your career it is a moment you can not get back. Do you really want to get to 65 and say “Yep well ain’t life grand, I spent the better part of my time at a job I did not like.” And not to bring up the fact that the rest of the world does not get to enjoy the fruits of you doing what you love and what you were meant to do on our planet this time round.

I am not saying it is going to be a bed of cupcakes. But meeting daily challenges in the pursuit of your passion will be far more rewarding than any paycheck. To wake up with energy because you do what you love on a daily basis is achievable and I believe you can make good money doing it!

It is okay if you want to stay asleep. It is very safe and cozy. I get it. I did it.

But if you do want to wake up and smell the cappuccino you are allowed.

So whats it going to be hit the snooze button for another Monday or start creating the life you actually desire today?

Enjoy

Julie-Anne
