I saw this on Tumblr the other day, and I couldn't stop thinking about it throughout the week. Although I am thankful for my job..I don't enjoy it. I don't like the medical field. I miss making coffee and spending the day at home even if I have to sacrifice weekends. I miss my free time.
I'm still unsure what I want to do as a long term career, but I know that right now, I want more time with my girl and my family-and to be young. I'm 21, not 54!!
So I may have to take a slight pay cut, and we'll have to make sacrifices, but being happier will always make it worth it.
I'm still going back and forth with this idea, I haven't made any changes yet. I've applied a few different places, but so far nothing has changed. I guess I just need motivation! (Which is where you come in.)
I also feel incredibly selfish. I've been trying to push myself, but at the expense of my family, maybe a pay cut wouldn't be best. I just have to weigh the pros and cons.
What do you guys think? Happiness, or living comfortable?
I don't mention God very often, but I'm a firm believer and I honestly think that someone watches over us, maybe I just need something to believe in so that I'm more positive. Or maybe God protects us in one way or another. I think I have someone that helps guide me, and I think as long as I stay hopeful, something will come my way.
The end of this post wasn't intended to offend anyone.
Do what makes you happier, trust me. I've done the whole "taking the job for more money" thing & in the end I still left. The money is cool and all, but in the end being happy & making memories is most important. The struggling & stuff becomes a little stressful, but that's when you take a second to just realize how much more the time you get with loved ones means. Nothing can replace those moments, especially not money. Follow your heart homie & keep pushing.
