Stay at your job, and play it safe.

Does that sound familiar to you?

What I’ve learned in the past is that we justify everything that goes on in our lives.

And thats why I kept doing the same things I was doing over and over again.

It was the same excuses that I was using for so long that were making me miserable and feeling hopeless.

I used to say to myself all the time that I would waste my education and a lot of money if I did something other then engineering.

And that definitely didn’t make me happy.

At all.

Well, I catch myself doing that a lot. 

I got a really nice compliment the other day, and instead of just saying thank you, I went ahead and justified why she gave me the compliment.  I mean that I actually went out of my way to proove to myself and her why her compliment was true.

EVEN ON A COMPLIMENT!!!

How sad is that… LOL, and there I go again justifying my compliment and then justifying that I am a sad person for doing so.

When does it ever end.  See how it becomes a vicious circle that can take you nowhere?

If the actions we did, or the comments we get had no negative justification or thoughts think of how much more we could get done in our lives.

It’s pretty funny actually when you think about it.

I mean I used to spend so much of my day thinking and justifying about say for instance why it was ok that I was at a job that I detested and that everyone else was doing that.

I knew in my heart of hearts, that it wasn’t true.

I started justifying more about why it was ok for me to find something that I truly loved because if I did, i’d be much happier and more inclined to do what I wanted to do instead of being dreadful at a job I disliked.

So I found a couple of things.

Went through a lot of expensive hobbies and piled up on a lot of material and tools etc.  I’m glad I did that.

I learned so much in the last few years and I know that it will all come around full circle.  It’s just like Steve Jobs realized how his scripting class that he took came around to help him in the design of the Apple computer to make it recognized for its graphics capabilities.

Start realizing if you are justifying anything in your life and you’ll see.  If you can switch the thought and make it positive to motivate you to do better and happier, it will only help.

So stop playing safe if that is the justification for being at a JOB you really hate.  Know that finding something you truly love to do will be the better outcome for your whole life.  Fight that fear…

Always.

Ok, so now i’m going to justify that it is getting late and that it’s time for this blog post to end, so everyone, thanks a lot and have a great night.
