When to Let Go & Move On From: A Job

You told yourself it was only a short-term gig. A way to pay the bills and still be able to pursue the dream. A brief layover on the way to your REAL destination. So why is it that you find yourself sitting at the same desk, at the same thankless job, five years later?

Since this is the Real World (no, not the MTV version), and we are mature and responsible adults, we all have bills to pay and responsibilities to fulfill and credit reports to keep in reasonably decent condition. So it’s not like we can afford to just leave behind our corner office with a view and gallop off into the sunset for parts unknown…parts that most likely don’t come equipped with medical and dental and a 401k. HOWEVER, that being said, you were not put on this earth to stay chained to someone else’s desk while your own dream sits on the shelf gathering dust.

THE SINGLE WOMAN SAYS: The desires of your heart were not put there by accident. Follow them.

Every dream…every desire of your heart…everything that you’re passionate about…your God-given talent: All of these things are clues pointing you to your greater calling. But there are some things you’re going to have to hang up on in order to answer that calling. Most of us spend more time at our jobs than we do with our own families. Do you really want to waste another second of your life on a job that’s filling your bank account but doing very little for your soul?

Bottom line: A dead-end job will never get you to your destination in life. It might feel like the safe, comfortable choice to stay in a steady, reliable position out of fear of the unknown, but the truth is—it’s really the riskiest thing you can do. While you spend minutes, hours, days, and even years toiling away at a job that you’re not 100% passionate about, precious time that you could be dedicating to your own dreams dwindles away.

So WHEN is it time to let go and move on from that job?

The minute you find yourself going through the motions instead of kicking butt and pursuing that latest promotion. The minute your goal becomes punching a clock rather than climbing your way to the top. And definitely the minute you find yourself starting to schedule even the most unpleasant of tasks, like your yearly gyno exam, during work hours because, frankly, a date with the stirrups sounds like a walk in the park compared to another 9-5 at a job that no longer makes you come alive.

You have to want the life that’s meant for you bad enough to surrender everything that’s not. And that includes being willing to surrender even the cushiest, easiest, most high-paying job. Why? Because not even a seven-figure salary is worth the price of your dream.
