[@SheilaMakena]

I quit my job back in 2019. It was the best decision I ever made. I lost everything. I had to move back home. But I used that time to learn about questions I believed this life could never respond to. I have found each and every answer to every question I have pondered. Depression and anxiety will never take control of me the way it did for decades of my life. I admit, on the outside, it looks like I have barely scratched the surface, but on the inside, I have moved mountains. I have travelled to millions of new versions of myself in this one lifetime. I'm fine with how everything unfolds.

@@OrangMation thank you for your thoughts. This is certainly the plan! I am working on an audiobook where I share my story as well as how we can mentally and emotionally free ourselves from the shackles of fear. No motivational stuff. Just really insightful information to help one understand oneself so much that you, at the very least, get back control of yourself and your life.

[@almondmilksoda]

[@radiokaput]

Exaaaactly! Most of the times it is not about the job itself, but the relational dynamics

[@avoicetocount]

I am currently in the process of walking out after ten years in the same job. The first five years I was able to enjoy what I did. For the last five years I had to strain harder and harder to find joy in what I was required to do and how it had to be done, and I maneuvered myself into burnout. Eventually, I figured I tried long and hard enough and it's time to call it quits before my unhappiness and the resulting inefficiency rubs off on others. I should have done that much sooner to prevent myself from falling ill. But I really wanted to make it work and be sure it's not me being the problem. I guess I'm a slow learner. But at least I'm sure now that it wouldn't have worked had I only given it some more time. If you're a little like me, I would give you this advice: trust yourself when you feel you can't stay even after having made an effort to change the circumstances. If you're really unhappy for a year, it's been long enough. Don't wait for anyone to give you permission to quit. Maybe you're in a position where you're very much appreciated by colleagues, customers, and/or your superiors because you're such a good worker and a nice person, too, but you're still seriously unhappy. Then you're the only one who is going to give you permission to leave. Trust yourself and don't wait too long to set yourself free from unhappiness.

[@glennaremoy]

​@@zalmarzalmar3835Up to a certain point that is true. But then, if you're still miserable, it could just be that the problem is not with you, but the environment you're in. Accepting something you utterly despise can become an excuse to stay passive. Only you can tell which it is. Only you can know when it is time for make a move. Don't let fear of the unknown stop you. When you're courageous, invisible forces will come to your aid and help you!

I have never understood why people ask what you do for work, like this is a gauge of who you are. Dont ever let work define you. If you dont enjoy it dont do it, simple. Dont let society dictate your worth. Be happy and honest and you'll be ok. Money is just a number, remember that. If you can be happy with nothing then you are successful.

Sometimes the job you're in allows you to do the thing you love. When the job becomes all consuming in a negative way its time to regroup and move onto something else. Leap and the net will appear.

[@federico6284]

Needed to hear this ! Thank you gurú! 🙏❤️ I had been working in a job I loved for 39 years up until last January. I’m 62 yrs young. Unfortunately I suffered a left knee meniscus tear on the job (old problem). And I caught COVID for the third time at the same time. I was no longer as enthusiastic as I used to be since I had to pay dearly with my health. My Orthopedist said that if I wanted to conserve what was left of my knee I would have to change jobs and lower my level of activity. So I quit my life’s vocation. After recovery, I tried looking for a remote -desk job-wfh . But after almost three months of sending out résumés, and going on virtual & real interviews, I finally figured out that maybe it was time to accept the inevitable : I have become superfluous in the modern day job market. So , after going through all of the stages of grieving , I have learned to accept my new reality and make the very best of it ! Luckily the doctor did not operate me ! I am grateful that I have some passive income every month. I am grateful that I was able to go to the gym and work on strengthening my knees, lowering my weight, increasing my muscle mass, and feeling much better about myself . I have also brought down my expenses , learned to live as a minimalist , and love the stoic way of life. Now I live in a peaceful mountain cabin surrounded by nature, lovely views, and am growing some medicinal plants , fruit trees , and soon, will plant an organic vegetable garden . Good by rat race ! 😅 Namaste 🙏

I used to hate my job until I brought myself to it. You cannot enjoy anything where the tru and whole you are not present. Do i love my job. No. But I love myself and I welcome all of me every moment. That has made all the difference.

[@RachelSmets]

It took me a very LONG time to understand this. How can I enjoy the present moment if I HATE my job and I hate working for a boss??? When I FINALLY understood it, I was able to find my way OUT of the job, escape the 9-5 and today I am traveling the world and having the FREEDOM I dreamed about. Feeling JOY in the present moment is KEY. If you can't enjoy the NOW, how can you attract the joyful freedom? I Had to learn to really find joy and contentment in the present, in tiny things, just so I could FEEL good. That feeling then attract MORE of those good things and opportunities and making money online. Making money on my own terms is all I wanted and I share how I did it in my videos, because I want EVERYBODY who feels STUCK to get out of the stuckness FAST ;) enjoy the NOW!

[@andy42x]

I feel like the issue with modern white collar jobs is that there is no flow. Five items compete for our attention of the present moment and the result is feeling scattered. Takes more discipline than ever to stay focused.

[@Kelvin-ed6ce]

I start with the task that feels most natural first, then work around that. If your office doesn't allow that, then perhaps you're micromanaged. But I highly agree that work shouldn't be a checklist. Intuition and human nature must rule, then flow will come. Even pilots checklists are more intuitive than just to-do lists.

[@carllahoud]

Lately i have been pondering leaving my job but deep down i accept and respect the fact I'm working and bringing home money.

[@SheilaMakena]

This is a valid belief system you have about your current situation and that is just fine! Continue to do things and have experiences that bring you real joy. No matter how small they are, bask in the enjoyment of the good you already have in your own life! Things will shift in their own time. Wishing you the best in your endeavor!

[@cupidok2768]

I changed jobs recently

[@tinajthesinger]

This is valid. As for myself I had reached a different level of consciousness so - having accepted my job - I eventually was called to leave.

[@seanguzy9601]

in other words you are coping.

[@debbiefallon3560]

For me, it’s always been about the people I have worked with. I didn’t like secretarial work, but could have stuck with it if my bosses and some coworkers were encouraging, positive people not on power trips. However, each time I walked out on a job, after the initial rush of great relief and freedom, I would feel guilt about not succeeding at holding a job. Eckhart’s masterpiece “A New Earth” helped me stay a few months longer in a position because I tried to be in the moment and find joy in the present, but my manager was an unhappy woman who didn’t seem to like me. A toxic environment! So leaving was the healthiest option.

[@bobbifoth5492]

I also quit my job after 5 years despite the money. Best thing I ever did

[@blackzetsu466]

Hi. I'm curious of what conclusion did you come to after watching this video or at least how has your perspective changed if any. Ty

[@futureofpsychology946]

I’m gonna be honest I just listened. And crazy thing is after two weeks of asking/meditating for a sign it’s always been just hold on. So I went to work on my night off last night and I actually didn’t complain or feel as irritated as I have been. I didn’t have that ugh I just want a new job something I’m going to like thought. I actually lived in the moment. (I work overnight 10 pm to 7am). I didn’t have that negativity surrounding me like normal because I was in the present. I not one time thought about how they made me worry and how I just want to leave. It was actually a good night for me. I guess it helped that I got to play around a lil 🤣 because I think when I come in on my day off I can do what I want. But I understand what Mr Tolle is saying if we are living in the past that all kinds of not where you want to be. And if you are living in the future the anxiety puts you in another state we shouldn’t be in. But if we live in the right now n learn to accept right now those future thoughts will make themselves present. Live in the now is living resistant free. So I will try hard to let the present in and keep my faith in my future. I know it’s coming. The job, and everything else my fun future holds…….

When I did and I decided to just know I’d find a place and be approved. In 24 hours that apt was mine.

At the other extreme is craving such speech, finding it everywhere (making connections that aren't real).

My philosophy is if you cannot enjoy the work you are doing AND then obviously you cannot accept it either , So immediately and instantly take the EXIT door of your workplace , NO second thought from your mind, just resign . The mind is clever and will find excuses to stay on but don"t listen . Take a leap of FAITH and remove yourself from your work or job. Try somewhere else , if don"t work , try 2nd place , if dont work try 3rd place , if dont work try 4th place - carry on upto 50 places or much. NOW listen carefully if nowhere works for you , then Find some place where you can grow some vegetables and crops etc to keep your body alive. Nothing more is needed. Take care

sometimes, not accepting at first can be due to adaptation period to a new workplace or city. NEVER judge during that period. only AFTER it, if you know it's not working, then leave.

So many takeaways from this video! I appreciate a realistic question like the choice we face when picking a job.

[@jennyxuchi2147]

you should quit your job if you can't enjoy what you are doing.

[@jennyxuchi2147]

And the reasons why you don't enjoy what you are doing could diversify. And the last point Eckhart brought up is gold: There are three modalities of living. Acceptance, Enjoyment, Enthusiasm. If you are not living in either of the three modalities, you are somewhere in dysfunction, and you are creating unhappiness and suffering for ourselves. And that usually implies creating sufferings in others, because unhappy humans make others unhappy too. Just WOW.

Eckhart reminds me of a turtle. 😊

Perfect timing. I just sent the owner of the business I contract with a not about frustrations. The job was always too far from home, I never know what I am walking in to or even when I will get paid. It is part time and I am looking at other options. After watching this one thing I know is, I can accept it temporarily. It is better than a bar tender at a disco😃

Very interesting that this pops up on my KZbin start page today as this was my first day in the new job at the bakery. I’ve been happy in the job I’ve had as a receptionist in the hotel but the calls “your colleague is ill, can you come?” were too hard for me, so I thought if I worked 3 mornings in the bakery then those days, I can’t receive any calls when a colleague is ill. And now I work too many days and I don’t enjoy the job in the bakery. I would love to be an author and videographer, but I don’t have much free time left. I’ll have to meditate and think about a solution. Thank you for the inspiration in the right moment ❤

[@petercrowe2704]

You shouldn't have to take a second job to justify not working extra hours in your first job. Guard your boundaries, be decisive, and make time for writing and making videos if that is what you want to do. Now is the time.

[@Parkitloveit]

@@petercrowe2704 Danke 💜 thank you 💛 gracias 🧡 merci 💙 grazie 💚 спасибо ❤️ for your kind words 🙏 I know I’ve been too weak and giving, it’s because of a trauma. I’m learning to not identify with the woman who had the trauma and I’m doing better each day.

Thank you 🙏

[@Dragon211]

My problem is, I just do not like working with people, but I want to do jobs that require working with people. That’s a constant battle inside of me and nobody ever wins.
