It’s pretty easy to see the value of changing course if you’re doing something you’ve always hated. But it’s harder to let go of something you once enjoyed or even loved.
We just heard from a reader who’s wanted to be a writer ever since she was a little girl. Or at least, that’s what she thought. She wrote, “I’m no longer sure if writing is my dream. It seems more like drudgery but the thought of dropping my dream causes me incredible pain. So I’m stuck.” Then she asked asked, “When is it time to quit?”
Well, we can’t tell you how much time has to elapse before it’s time for a change. But we can say this: Life is precious. Don’t waste it doing something that no longer excites you!
How much passion do you have in your day-to-day life? Can you say “Yes” to these statements?
- I wake up happy in the morning.
- I’m hardly ever bored.
- I’m often excited about a new project at work.
- My overall outlook on life is positive.
- I rarely wish I was doing something else.
