Fear Easily Becomes Inertia
I found a very depressing site the other day. It came up when I googled the phrase “I hate my job.” It’s full of people complaining about what they do for a living. And it’s more than just venting. Much of it is not only hostile, it’s hateful. Very few seem to be doing anything about their circumstances except finding fault. Are they expecting to walk into the office one day and find a significant change has taken place?
Individuals such as these are one reason why I teach people how to find their perfect job. When you understand the science and psychology behind what’s involved in the search, you begin to realize it’s not only possible to achieve it, but it’s do-able in a short period of time because you are the one controlling - through your mental attitude and ensuing choices - both the process and the outcome.
The most common reason some people fail to make a change is fear – usually fear of change combined with landing in the same miserable type of environment. It’s like the person who’s been dating a long time and always winds up with a jerk. Pretty soon you just leap to the conclusion that that’s the only thing around and don’t realize that’s a fallacy. A shift in perspective and you can say, “Hey, maybe the problem isn’t something else. Maybe the problem is me.”
