Work is just work , yet we spend 1/3rd of our day on it. It is one of the main aspect of our life. Not everyone has 100 choices to change the job or career path , nor does everyone has that courage to find changes as well. But cribbing and worrying about work life disappointment is not worthy.

  1. Change your situation. Try to find a change in job that best fits your personal situation. You may be sticking to your current job as it is close to your child’s school or close to your home etc etc. So make a list of jobs that still fits into your criteria. If job security is the main reason then add that to your filter list as well. Up-skill yourself and boost your confidence level. Evaluate what is blocking you from finding that change. Negotiate on which one wins is it the blocker or your urge to find a new job ? Check all possible options to make a change .
  2. Accept and find alternatives. If in above evaluation you decide to stick to blocker, then accept your decision and situation with whole heart. Find some alternate stuff that makes you happy and drives you away from the sadness you may be having from your situation. Join a hobby class or teach in some hobby class. Write online, take tutions to kids . Do anything that you are good at and which fits your current situation.
  3. Remove the blocker. When you become strong enough and all your situation permits leave your job or find a new one. Or who knows your alternatives might work well for you and you may become a full time writer or Tutor. Lastly Rise above this, If you cannot Change, Accept or Remove. Trust on your faith and spiritual practices to rise above all the situation , see life from a different perspective and be happy.

Well, this is applicable anywhere in life situations that we find tough to change, I applied it to my work life where I needed it the most.
