"America is a scam." Man, I feel that. When I visited Africa & Europe, I saw all the young professionals enjoying their lives. Going out on a Monday or Tuesday and only working just to enjoy their lives. It feels like the in the USA we work ourselves to the bone just to be able to survive then trick ourselves that this is normal. One uses money to live, the other lives just to try and make money. It hurts.

[@chimdi]

I am so glad I got a taste of how different it can be, because so many think the way we do it here is the only way it can be done. I know my pain came from treating myself far worse than I knew I deserved. But the beauty comes from knowing that there is better, and once the knowledge is there it can never be unlearned.

Just quit my job today, realized 2 years out of college and 3 jobs in 3 different industries that engineering just isn’t the right path for me. Going after my dream of being a videographer EDIT: ONE YEAR UPDATE (June 2022) Wow, I didn’t realize how much attention this comment would get. Almost forgot I even made it entirely. After a couple freelance jobs here and there in the coming months, my portfolio was adequate enough to catch some eyes and land me a full-time job as an in-house videographer at a non-profit near Philadelphia. I film and edit everything from event recaps (5Ks, golf tournaments, lacrosse tournaments, banquets) to narrative/documentary-type pieces on the families we support and our top fundraising players. In two weeks I’m filming a highlight reel for a football camp run by 3 current and former Philadelphia Eagles players, an absolute dream. I never imagined a year ago I’d be working with professional athletes and I’ve just recently took a step back to reflect on how far I’ve come in a short time. I don’t make as much (yet?) as I was making in the engineering field but honestly that’s rarely crossed my mind as my quality of life and purpose has been that much more fulfilling, and it’s a joy to see the impact on the people I’ve helped along the way by spreading awareness of my organization through my videos. It’s been a surreal experience so far, and thank you everyone for the supportive comments! If you feel stuck, there’s always a way out as long as you invest time and energy in yourself!

Guys start applying for jobs you don’t think you’ll get. I was working for an insurance company and absolutely hated it. I was so burnt out I remember one time after a call going to my car calling my mom and crying. She said to just quit. It’s not worth it to be so unhappy. I’ve always wanted to travel and wondered how I could do it for a living. I applied to be a flight attendant not thinking I’d get it. It was kinda just to say that I applied but I really didn’t think I’d hear back. Fast forward like to now I’ve been a flight attendant for six years. It’s not the perfect job and there are still times that I feel burnt out. But I never take work home with me. I don’t have a supervisor breathing down my neck. And I get paid. To. Travel. Literally all I’ve wanted to do and I’m getting paid for it. So please just apply for a job you want even though if you don’t think you can. You’re not gonna get in trouble. No one else is gonna find out , as long as you don’t tell them. The worse that can happen is they say no. The best that can happen is that it will change your life.

I love this! I'm going to take your advice. In my case I was working for a monopoly company that sold sucky internet and cable tv and we were tech support for these constantly angry and frustrated customers. For 2 and a half years we dealt with sometimes taking over a hundred calls due to recurrent outages and services issues (due to the sucky overpriced service) and I was completely burnt out and constantly complained & talked about leaving and doing something I actually believed in. Fast forward to this past Monday. They pack about 10 of us into a room to let us go in order to cut costs! Seriously???!!! All that time I could've been creating my OWN destiny or exploring my passions instead of being miserable for all those months just for them to tell me they no longer need me. Disgusting! And one of my coworkers who was also let go, sent me this video. So glad he did! Now I've got my motivation to finally do what I enjoy instead of what corporate America says I'm "qualified" to do! Thank you Chimdi and all of you for sharing your inspirational testimonies! God will provide & that's the ONLY THING I Know for SURE right now! ☺️🤞🏾

When they called us back to the office to start seeing people again, I went into extreme anxiety attacks and panic attacks.

@Choochoo choo I worked full-time for more than 43 years to get to this point. I retired in 2017 so am now able to live off my investments, my retirement fund, and social security. I did do some free-lance work in 2020, but thankfully don't really need to work for pay anymore. All of my adult life I did whatever was necessary to educate myself and develop skills in fields that were of interest to me. Additionally, I always lived below my means by living in an older home; driving an old, but reliable car; rarely dining out; not taking extravagant vacations; socking away every penny I could (tax returns, gifts, bonuses, etc.) into my retirement fund; purchasing clothes and accessories second-hand; ditching cable 15 years ago. If you work at what you love the money will follow; how you choose to spend it will either help or hinder your progress of reaching your goal(s).

After 4+ years of grinding through a PhD program, getting the ideal+stable industry position, switching to a new role at the company thinking things would get better I finally mustered up the courage to be truthful with myself that this just wasn’t working for me. I was one of the top performers and every boss loved me (plus my parents were so so proud of me), and I think that’s what kept me going so long. During this pandemic I grew closer to my faith and Jesus and I feel he’s being asking me to radically trust in him and live a life aligned to my values. At the same time, my fiancé left his engineering 9-5, started his own business and I can see how happy and free he is + he’s making great money which takes this immense pressure off me.

I saw the true colours of my bosses during COVID and it completely changed my perspective on MYSELF and the work ENVIRONMENT. I was still young, I was still growing, I listened to them and did whatever they wanted me to do, even though I would be exhausted from doing so. When COVID, hit, I truly found myself, I found my self-worth, I found my self- love, I knew what I wanted and what I deserved. So I quit. No notice, nothing. I sent a text message saying I quit. Fast forward to today, I found a job where my team and I are like family, we go to lunches and dinners together, we look out for each other, we work hard together and work doesn’t even feel like work.

And at the same time, they're not getting the best work possible and someone who might actually enjoy that role and perform really well is being kept from doing it.

[@molebohengmotsoeneng7502]

You and I sister😂. Heck I resigned without a plan (still unemployed) but that was the best decision I've made for myself. Peace over anything

PEACE 👏🏽 OVER 👏🏽 EVERYTHING 👏🏽

I went to college right out of high school at 18, graduated in 4 years, got a job working in the lab in the begging of the pandemic helping to produce the vaccine. I made good money, got worked like a dog 6 days a week 11 hour days. My family and everyone was so proud that I “made it”. My soul started to deplete, I had money and no happiness. I decided to leave after a year to peruse my art and dreams. Today I work as a surfboard builder and artist. I make enough to get by and I feel immensely better. I’d rather be happy. Period. I lowered my monthly expenses, rent a room, live a simple life & I feel immensely better all around. Good for you, keep this movement going. I realized I’d rather die doing what I love than to die doing what I hate. At least I would have enjoyed my time here on earth. Enjoy your time here while it lasts. Do what you feel called to do. Much love & peace 🙏🏽

"I’d rather die doing what I love than to die doing what I hate." THIS!!!!! I'm so happy for you, thank you for sharing your story!!!

[@Namuria]

I did not quit my job, but due to internal changes they had to let me. But truthfuly I was sick and tired and I was no longer performing, I was almost praying that maybe if I keep underperforming they would fire me so I would not have to make the decision for myself. In a way it's what happened. and now I am dealing with fear because I am realizing that I did loose myself in this job. So yeah I am binging motivational videos to ease my fear. Your video was helpful ! Thanks

[@chimdi]

I think you said something really powerful here Namuria -- YOU WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN. You CREATED this circumstance. This shows your own power. So decide what life you want. How it feels, how much money you make, what kind of work you do. Once you understand where you want to be, you will create that life for yourself just like you created the one you're in now! ❤️

Love this Chimdi. I left my corporate life about 12 years ago (at 29) after almost decade in the very soul-destroying world of advertising. And it still took me another decade to really find my creative voice to live a creative life! Keep inspiring us all!

[@chimdi]

Crystal!!! Whew a decade is NO JOKE! I'm so glad you got out of there and now you're blessing all of us with your art, we love to see it!!!!

[@eyeconicboykins]

Crazy that im leaving my job in december and that statement "America is a scam" just hit me yesterday while talking to my coworkers about our pensions and how you cant get it until 60 no matter how bad you need money. Thank you for sharing your story !

[@chimdi]

LISTEN, the cons are outta control 😭😭😭 And yaasss to freedom in December! 🥳🥳🥳

[@Patience7813]

Even when you quit a job that you know in your guts isnt right for you, people tend to judge you. I think we've been trained to believe that it's okay to stay in a job for YEARS, that pays us but makes us crazy. Hello!!! I have no more energy to be miserable anymore. If you've prayed about it and God says "its time to go"...then its time to go.

[@chimdi]

FACTS ON FACTS ON FACTS!!!

[@Fontaine20]

[@therealtannerhughes3043]

Child I love this video. So GREAT to see someone speaking Truth. I used to drive to a job I hated wishing I would get into a car accident on the way so I had an excuse why I didn't go that day. Imagine that? I finally left. YAY!!! Love u GIRL 🎉🎶🎊

[@chimdi]

Amy!!! Yeah that is completely wild yet I 100% get it. Anything to not be in a situation you hate. I'm so glad you got out of there!!!

[@bajanstarseed]

Crazy how this popped up in my recommendations when I've been considering quitting my job for some time now. Been working at my current job for 5 years and I'm just tired of being there. Literally hate it but everytime I discuss it with my family they're like be grateful you have a good job. I cry, I complain everyday...I can't see myself working there another year. Its my life and I should do whats best for my mental health. Stress is a killer

[@chimdi]

Not crying EVERY DAY over your JOB!!! Your family means well, they think you need a job to be secure and happy and any job will do, but if the job makes you miserable then how does the math add up??? Also, it's a lack mindset to think there's only one good job that exists and you have it right now. You know in your spirit you could be living WAY better. Just because they told settle for a job they hate doesn't mean you have to. And I'm saying this with all the love, they genuinely are doing what they think is best.

[@jackiesinaa]

Work for a regional airline & I realized this company wasn’t for me when I got into a car accident & they pressured me into coming back to work after only 2 days of my accident. No morality. No empathy for me being in a life altering experience. Made my mind up I was going to leave this company before the end of January came around. I already have my mind up & even though many may disagree with me. Nobody knows how it feels to be in my shoes and to be underpaid, overworked, & overlooked by a company that could care less if you died or yet, got into an accident. Thanks for this video & May God continue to bless you!

[@chimdi]

Jackie!!! I am sending you so much love, I am so glad you were able to survive that car accident and I'm keeping you in my prayers as you heal from the emotional impact as well. You definitely deserve to work at a place where your team cares about your LIFE and I'm so glad you are giving yourself a chance to experience that. God bless you too!!!

***EDIT: How I've Made Money Since Quitting kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKbCaXWXYp6mepY I quit my job during COVID without having another job to travel, rest, and reflect. Need a little motivation to do the same? Let's talk burnout, stepping out on faith, and what my next steps look like!

[@mogshot]

Same. I worked in IT and I had a great time! Good coworkers, good work, felt fulfilling!! I got burnt out badly. I hit a wall and couldn't leave my door. It's emotional wave. I'm still getting over it. Looking at our future selves. If you read this know I'm proud of you. I know you're scared. I believe you.

[@chimdi]

10 YEARS!!!! Wow, HUGE CONGRATS for getting out of debt. That is a major reason people stay where they are no longer happy. I feel really grateful I was able to pay off my debt as well. Congrats on your new chapter!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@kendalblake]

I just quit my job so I've been watching these videos for comfort. I do not like quitting a job with out something lined up but I've been thinking about leaving for months. and then my employer violated my employee rights so I saw that as a sign to just quit and get away from this job. The job was causing me a lot of stress and my employers were very manipulative

[@chimdi]

Kendal, I'm so glad you got on out of there. You knew it wasn't right for you and you deserve employers who respect and value you at the MINIMUM, much less respecting federal law!

[@nunya1bizness510]

Quit my job yesterday with no plan no insurance now . So the desire to follow my conscience outweighs any risk that lies outside of it.

[@chimdi]

That's real. Because what's the point of insuring a life that you don't even want?

[@shivinunitholi2493]

I did exactly that last year without having found another job. I felt I was simply dragging myself to the laptop to work everyday. It reached a point that I started getting bouts of depression and I would get temperamental (which I am otherwise not).

[@chimdi]

I hear you Shivin! Our bodies, minds and spirits are telling us EXACTLY how we really feel about what's going on, and it's up to us to listen. ❤️👏🏽

I put in my two weeks notice today at my job, working for this company for 2 years in a urgent care setting and I quit due to being over worked and under paid. I took on another role to help the company that turned into 9 months of doing two jobs for one pay salary. I tried to stick it out out of fear that I could lose it all. But in reality my health has took a decline due to stress. I’m on my spiritual journey to trust in GOD all the way because I’ve tried to guide myself for some time and nothing has changed. I’ve known for a while that the healthcare industry is not my true passion. More so beauty,art and hair is my thing that I enjoy. Just haven’t found my niche to make a way to make money from it full time. I trust that great things will happen for me because I’m already at the bottom mentally but not rock bottom to giving up. Your message in this video has moved me into having faith that I’ve done the right thing for myself. Thank you queen !! 😊❤

[@chimdi]

Kieyra!!! I am sending you so much love and I am so happy you are removing yourself from a situation that brought you so much stress. You deserve work that is aligned to your purpose and fills you with energy, not drains it!! I am rooting for you and I know God will keep you safe and sound ❤️
