Today is the day that most people go back to work.

I’ve been talking to a lot of people about it, and almost no one seems thrilled with the idea. Which makes me wonder why?

Why would someone keep working at a job they don’t like? Or doing anything that doesn’t feed their soul for that matter?

When I posed this question I got a few looks as if I’d gotten right off the ole’ flying saucer. I was informed that that’s just the way it is….you work and if you don’t like it…too bad.

If that’s you then I have a wake up call: You’re an adult!

YOU, and no one else gets to say what you do for work, fun or anything in between. And that means that YOU have the power to make changes if it isn’t working for you anymore.

It doesn’t mean go in this morning and quit your job. It does mean evaluate where you are and start making plans to be somewhere else next year if that’s what you want.

And one more thing before I get off the soap box…things change.

The awesome job opportunity that makes you absolutely giddy today will, in time also run it’s course and not give you the thrill it once did. And then it will be time to move on from that too. The key is being in touch with your inner being so you know when its time to move on, otherwise you’ll be here again next January not wanting to go back to work…again.
