I want to confess right out of the blocks that I don\u2019t have a great perspective on the subject of this Dave Rave, in part, because I\u2019ve always loved what I do.\u00a0 I am one of the blessed ones who found, very early in life, his calling and has pursued it with singular focus.<\/p>\n
I know that\u2019s not always true and there are times when we wind up in work that not only is not fun, but not fulfilling.<\/strong> And rather than adding to our life, it detracts even more than we earn.<\/p>\n I read a startling statistic that said in the first six months of 2010 more people quit their jobs in America than lost their jobs. <\/strong> That tells me that there are a lot of unhappy people out there.\u00a0 So here five signs it\u2019s time for you to resign and move on to something bigger, better, and bolder.<\/p>\n Sign #1:\u00a0 You dread Monday morning on Sunday afternoon.<\/strong> If on Sunday afternoon, as the weekend winds down, you\u2019re dreading getting up and trudging off to the office in the morning, chronically over time – I\u2019m not just talking about once or twice in a blue moon – but every week you begin to dread Monday morning, it\u2019s a sure sign you need to find something else to do.<\/p>\n Sign #2: Your stress level goes up when you\u2019re at work.<\/strong> I believe that some stress is good.\u00a0 As a matter of fact, the only thing that\u2019s stress-free is something that\u2019s dead.\u00a0 But I am talking about the kind of stress where you tense up in your shoulder, you grit your teeth, at the end of the day you are totally wiped out, and you have to come home and collapse in the easy chair.\u00a0 It\u2019s not the physical stress that\u2019s draining your energy.\u00a0 It\u2019s the emotional and mental stress and strain of having to perform at something for which you have no passion.<\/p>\n Sign #3: You work around people for whom you have little respect. <\/strong>It\u2019s one thing to get up and do your best at work you love.\u00a0 That\u2019s hard enough. But to do it around people for whom you have no respect, either professionally or personally, becomes too high a price.\u00a0 If you work around people who are dishonest, lazy, who are demeaning, and non-learners, you need to get out sooner than later.<\/p>\n Sign #4: There is no foreseeable future in which the return on your personal investment is going to be worth it<\/strong>.\u00a0 We all go through seasons in our lives and careers: seasons of ups and downs, seasons where things go well, and other seasons where we work harder than any other time and have little return.\u00a0 If you\u2019re in the kind of work in which you see no return or future turn-around, it\u2019s time to get something with a bigger future.<\/p>\n Sign #5: You\u2019re bored.<\/strong> If you don\u2019t have to stretch and grow and learn in order to do a better job to increase your income and return on investment, it\u2019s either time to work on you, or work on the work.\u00a0 Because passionate, exciting, thrilling work ought to overwhelm you just enough to cause you to continue to be a learner, to continue to have curiosity and want to know.<\/p>\n Here are five simple signs you should resign.\u00a0 I\u2019m not saying if all five apply to you, you need to turn in your resignation tomorrow.\u00a0 But I am saying these are early warning symptoms that you need to get on with your life.\u00a0 As a renegade for God, my creed is: live free, have fun, and change the world while you\u2019re doing it.\u00a0 Live free – that\u2019s one thing.\u00a0 Have fun – that\u2019s about work.\u00a0 That\u2019s about life and relationships.\u00a0 That\u2019s under your control and you can change it the minute you decide to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I want to confess right out of the blocks that I don\u2019t have a great perspective on the subject of this Dave Rave, in part, because I\u2019ve always loved what I do.\u00a0 I am one of the blessed ones who found, very early in life, his calling and has pursued it with singular focus.
