And yet another boring day at work.
And it's not that I'm dissatisfied with what I do at work, rather it's that I've stopped feeling like the work I do was mine...
At almost 48 years old, and I know very well that I am a person who moves by objectives and if the objectives do not excite me, I lose motivation in a well-paid job, but objectives that are not aligned with me is not what makes me happiest .
I have realized that I need to have personal, day-to-day goals, simple or complex, long or short, I don't care but I need to have something to be motivated by.
The project I'm working on is so long that it's difficult to stay motivated every day, however, I suffer from an excessive workload that makes me not focus on the goals that excite me, the personal ones.
I have had to stop training regularly, as I have been doing for the last 15 years, although I still train two days a week. In any case, I maintain a high daily activity goal, which leads me to take walks with the dog for more than half an hour, even reaching two hours a day, but always in the late afternoon.
I still depend a lot on my monthly salary, I would say that I am not very far from financial sovereignty, but I still need to provide security for my family, since I have two children of study age. That is why I am still a slave to this monthly payroll, although I am accumulating objectives that I want to achieve, I know that many of them I will not be able to execute, but the main ones will.
Having goals gives meaning to life, do not forget about this.
Hang in there Eddie...Independence isn't so far away
😅
Sometimes we need to step away to see the progress we've made. And then to reset our goals and get excited about them (again).
I hear all of your frustrations (as I feel them too!).
We are not alone! 😅
I hear you. I am younger than you but I do not want to be working for monthly payroll when I am 50 or 55. I like to work but the notion of working for someone else is not easy to digest. And, I do not see myself motivated enough to work as a director with more responsibility.
Agree, my point is that I already reached an outstanding position in my work and I don’t need more responsibilities, I prefer to develop others
It makes perfect sense.
Yay! 🤗
