Career, Vision and Developing Chance

Yesterday, a Friend of mine is sharing her stories with me. She said that she’s feeling depressed about her current job. She thinks that she’s trapped in her current job, and she feels doing nothing and wasting her time. 

And then i asked her : “what’s your dream? your vision? your objective in life?”

She answered : “I.. i don’t know”

This is the most natural and understandable situation in human life. I think every human must feel like they’re lost once, twice, or even more in life, and that’s okay. But what’s you mustn’t do is ignore the problem, and keep moving with your life. When you feel lost, don’t sway.. Plan!

First, asked yourself : “What do i want to become in the next ten year” “what is my vision?" If you can’t answer that it’s also okay. A lot of people doesn’t know their dreams, but it was never too late to create your own dream.

How to create dream? Asked yourself “What that makes me Happy the most?” “What can i do to make me happy?” If you can’t answer that then it’s also okay. Some people can answer their own happiness, why? because sometimes happiness is taken for granted by some people.

If you can’t find your dreams, then you must try a lot of different things by your heart while you’re doing that, take your time to contemplate and see what tickles you in this life.

But some people doesn’t have that luxury. Some people are trapped in their current condition, or occupation. What can you do with that??

You can try to learn to love your job and make the best of yourself in that job. Think forward and keep moving forward even in the job you don’t like. Think it as a “Facilitation to make yourself a better human being, train your skill and mental”. Set goals in that job, challenge yourself everyday.

Or you can move if you want to. But remember, if you can move. Think of what you like, your dream and your vision. Does your job-to-be is supporting you in that dream? even if you still can’t find your dream and you had to move (Boss problem, lay off, bigger salary, etc) you have to set goal in your job-to-be. What can you gain in that job? what can you do in that job? what do you want to become after you finished or out from that job-to-be? If you do that, you can grow and doesn’t feel like you’re wasting your time. If you found your vision in the middle of the road, then simply change your course if the current job doesn’t support it. At least you've already had some objective.

My point is, minimize your idle time in Life. Life provide you with zillion chance to develop yourself, but sometimes you choose to ignore it because you’re too busy feeling trapped and don’t know what to do, or you don’t like those development in particular. But remember, this only make you wasting your precious time to shape yourself from becoming the Ultimate you.

Just keep on growing and moving forward, the more you learn, the more you know about what you want. But if you're not moving forward, stuck and wait for something to come, then you'll just wasting your time.

I hope this can help anyone that feel the same way with my friends.

Happy developing!!
