Responsibilities don’t care about dreams!

The worst thing is to be stuck on a job you hate but in an economy where government salaries are being delayed for 11 months

and there are no jobs in the private sector, the dream come true becomes finding a job (whatever it is) that pays the bills

But what about the dream that never comes true? Only a few lucky youth find themselves in jobs that actually interest them irrespective of pay. The rest of us are just drifting further and further into the routine hamster wheel that is the 9-9 of Naija.

God forbid, you then have uncooperative colleagues and supervisors or your working conditions are terrible. Where do you find solace? How do you maintain balance and sanity?

More importantly, how do you get out?!!!

I’m sorry but I don’t have an answer to this.

If I did, I wouldn’t have felt the need to write this post now, would I?

What I do know is, irrespective of how cliche it sounds, you can’t get to where you really want to be if you don’t do something about your current situation. Most unfortunately, the reality of our circumstances demands that we take drastic steps that are often times unchangeable and can leave you in a fix if Plan B goes south but like I said, something has to be done.

Does this sound like you?

What are you willing to give up?

Another thing, if it’s gonna be drastic, it has to be well-planned. Don’t just quit your job or start the enterprise without having a Plan A, B, C, D and Z.

For now, find your quick fix. Your happy place. The thing to do that’ll get you out of a rut and help you focus before you hit that terrible co-worker with rubber slippers

For me, it’s music. Once I plug in, I’m oblivious to bad vibes.

Sometimes, I go downstairs to gossip and vent with the Customer Service Officer.

So yeah, find what works for you and have a bowl of Ice-cream to boot.

You’ll be alright!!!

Have a great week ahead!

xoxo
