Is Resentment Controlling Your Career?

The only control we have is in the choices we make. And everything we do is a choice. We don’t have to go to work. We don’t have to do our jobs. Quitting and never working again is always an option. We choose to work because of what it provides. Our work serves our life in the form of a paycheck, stability, or in other ways that we have decided is worth choosing to work each week. But most people don’t see it that way. Most people see their careers as something they have no control over. They feel as though they’re being forced or trapped in a life that they didn’t choose. They are at the mercy of fate, luck, and other people. And it’s in this dysfunctional belief where we give away our true power—the ability to create our dream careers. Listen to this week’s Livelihood podcast on what happens when we allow external forces to run our lives and dictate our careers. Learn how resentment quickly festers and grows into toxic workplaces, misunderstandings, and burnout. Discover how to take back control of your career to create real job satisfaction and fulfillment.
