Leo Babauta: Staying in your current job will not only continue to make you unhappy, but you are not realizing your full potential in life.
My entire span of time at the restaurant, everyone except my mom was telling me how I could do better, how I should do better so I know I should think of it closing as even God agrees that this is not what I should be doing...
But despite having to listen to everyone complain about how I should be doing something else even though they hate their jobs, listening to customers put me down and put me in a stereotypical box for having a fast-food job and putting up with threats of being fired over the stupidest things...mystery shops are not indicative of how a restaurant is being run!
There were things I liked. I liked my coworkers, I liked the satisfaction of getting something done and I liked doing customer service so they got what they wanted within reason.
Still, I need to move on and see if I can do this "full potential" thing...I just don't know how that works.
