So, you want to quit your job. But you don't want to talk about it. Why? You don't want to talk about it because you don't want to quit your job.
That's a loop. It's a loop trying to prevent connection to your inner knowing, to your real self, and to the truth about you.
Now, that's just an example, and it might not be correct for you. But play along with me, and let's try to deconstruct what's happening here , because even if you don't want to quit your job there is a lot of benefit in this conversation.
So let's imagine that deep down, you know you want to quit. Why? Because it's awful. It's causing you stress. You hate going to the office every day. You want to do your own thing, have your freedom, and live your life. Not everyone with a job feels this way, but most of us can relate because, at one point or another, we've been there.
So you want to quit, but you refuse to admit it to yourself. Because if you do, you have to be responsible for that desire. It feels safer not to trigger it and just pretend you don't really want to leave.
It's funny—we started with you wanting to quit, and ended up with you wanting to stay. But that makes sense, because a job is stability. It gives you an income. The reality isn't that you don't want to quit; it's that you're afraid of having no income.
And here we have the truth: you want to quit your job, and you're afraid to do so. That's awesome. That's fantastic.
If that's the truth, well, now what? It doesn't mean you have to quit your job right away, but acknowledging it gives you a sense of peace.
What are the chances you'll regret leaving? Let's call it very low. If you do, you can always find another job. The chance of regretting quitting a job you hate is minimal, but the chance of regretting staying one day longer is… significantly higher.
Now, if you're staying just for the stable income, that's fair. Money is super important. But if you're doing it only for the money, there is no fulfillment. You might be successful at earning a paycheck, but you aren't fulfilled by how you're earning it.
That means you live your life without fulfillment, without alignment, without aliveness. You live with numbness. And if you live like that, how likely are you to be happy? How likely are you to be free, to contribute, to shine, or to spread joy and love? There is no peace in that.
The answer is acting in alignment to what you know is real. Now that you know what you really want, act in alignment with that.
