when i don't like my job, i resign. when i felt i am not growing in the relationship, i left. when there's a chance to change, i take it. i thought, what's the worst thing that could happen? i've been a bum for a while. thrice in my life, actually. i got hurt for a time longer than i anticipated. but those were phases. temporary ones. and i overcame, just as how one ALWAYS does.
when i was younger, i thought it was selfish of me to do this. now, i changed my mind and think of it as something selfless. most likely, someone else can do the job better than you do. and someone else will love that person more than you can. don't deny them of this. don't hold on to something you can't fully appreciate. don't deny yourself of the potential to be in your happy place. don't waste your time somewhere else.
there's nothing more pitiful than someone who wakes up in the morning with a heavy heart and walks out of that door with heavy footfalls. you know why? because you're in control. if you find yourself constantly yawning in your small office space and ranting about your work-related dissatisfaction in social networking sites on a DAILY basis and showing your disinterested face to the patients or customers or clients or anyone you deal with, you may want to do a self-check. why in the world are you left occupying that space there?
if you're young, use your time to explore, to fail, to think you're in that place you wanted to be and to be with someone you believe to be right for you, and to realize you're wrong -- about all these. to fail again and again, and eventually, to find your place and right fit -- without a doubt this time around.
if you're old, all the more you need to stop wasting the time you're left with. spend it doing the things you love doing and share it to people you love to love.
just don't get stuck.
