Why live for the weekend? I know I have been stuck in this thought process many times, so easy to slip into the idea that the only fun we have is on the weekend. We even have a funny name for Wednesday day, "Hump day", as if we are just waiting for Friday. I know when we have a job sometimes it feels as though Monday through Friday is drudgery. It mess with our mind to think only two days out the week are any fun and well it is not true. We have a choice to make if M-F sucks we can find a new job that we love or start our own business or change our mind about the job we are in right now. I am suggesting it is up to us and thank goodness because if our bad week was someone else's responsibility then we would never have a chance to be truly Happy. I suggest making a decision to change because a life on the fence unhappy is no fun.
I was talking with a client recently who decided to give up being a realestate agent. I started the conversation because she was clearly unhappy as an agent but on the fence about what to do about it, she did not want to appear to have failed. I asked her to remember what it was like to really want that shiny piece of candy as a child, to crave it, and then when you finally get it you don't like it. The candy looked good on the outside but the inside was not what you wanted and this is what realestate is to her, it just looked good on the outside so "put down the candy" and "try something else".
