Time and again, almost on a daily basis, I see people around me cribbing about their jobs. They have been stuck up in an organization since a long time without any real motivation and learning. The thought that keeps crossing my mind is if you dislike your job so much, if you are literally dragging yourself to office everyday, if you are forever thinking that you could do better things, then why don't these you just do it. Why don't you carve a path for yourself that can keep you happy? What does it take to do that?
Over the years I have noted that a very big aspect of not making the move in that direction is the comfort zone. Over a period of time, all of us tend to get into a comfort zone wherein though we may not be happy with our jobs, it serves the purpose. The major worry for most of us is - 'I need to prove myself all over again' or 'I need to work doubly hard' or 'I am all set here'. Well, if you like doing something and you take up exactly that, how difficult will it be to prove yourself? It may take some initial efforts but isn't it worth it than being stuck up somewhere and continuously crib about it.
What you do and what you get is completely in your hands. If you really want to do something, you just go for it. Stop blaming everyone around you for not making it good for you. You are the torch bearer of your career and it's only you who can shape it, no one else. So think about what it is you want, either be the change you want to see or look for a change.
Most importantly - Just get out of your comfort zone!
