Lots of my clients argue that they weren’t fulfilled or happy in their job before going through cancer. They drag their feet to get back to work and as a result don’t show up as their best version. Or they believe that they should find another job.
As I always explain to my clients, it’s not your job’s job to make you happy or fulfilled. Only, you can do that by changing your thoughts about the job.
Quitting your job is not a solution. You may get a temporary high because of the newness. But you will quickly fall back into your old thinking patterns. And feel unhappy and unfulfilled again.
You have to get to a place where you love your job. Then you can then decide to stay or to leave.
If you leave, it won’t be because you’re unhappy. You leave just because you want to.
With love,
Laurent
