Have you ever heard or felt the Sunday Evening Depression (Just google "Sunday evening de.." ? It's also known as "Sunday Night blues" for school going kids who are anxious for the week ahead in school. For adults, its the work week. The 5 days of work bring a lot of anxiety, but should you feel the anxiety ? Didn't we take the job at will? Nobody forced us to take the job as kids are forced to go to school.
It may sound like a repeated advice, "Find your dream job" or "Chase your dreams". Practically speaking, its not possible for most of us to pursue our dreams, either due to responsibilities or student loan/credit card debt. Spending 5 days a week, 260 days a year or approximately 72 % of your work life doing something we don't like can lead to a lots of frustration and stress.
Why do i care to tell you about this? I am going to share my experience about meeting somebody who made me realize that sometimes you take steps that bring unhappiness to yourself but help us achieve what we want. When i was talking to him, i did not realize that he was divorced and had a son. He loved to spend a lot of time with his son (Who wouldn't ??) and his current job did not give him enough time to hang out with his son. He said, i do this job so that he would have to never say no to his son to go for a football game. He plans to quit and chase his dream when his son is off to college.
What did i learn from him ?? Do what you LOVE or WORK towards it
