Finding a Way

If you love something enough no one can stop you from doing it. If you’re stuck in a job where you are constantly being told any of the following; “No, that’s not the right way.” “No, you’re doing it wrong” “No, you should be doing this instead” “No, you cannot make your own choices” Despite giving your best, despite trying to learn, despite showing up all the time – it can be a hard message to hear and one that can be immediately translated in your mind to – “you don’t love this enough, don’t bother”.

Stop Browsing

You don’t need to check that news site one more time – nothing has changed – at least nothing worthwhile. If you’re in a rut or at a place where there is never enough to do, than it’s time for you to start figuring out how to get enough to do. That’s it.

I think of it every time I see someone on the path to Burnout – taking on too much, pushing too hard, not giving themselves enough breaks, trying to be the hero and then the inevitable – falling down, making mistakes, losing your cool on your team and everyone else around you. If you need something to remind you of how burn out can be, look no further than this movie clip and ending up like a “Burnt Out Toaster Oven” in the morning.
