Be grateful for what you have now

[tygeade]

Moreover, I want to say that I am grateful for everything I have, because I am not just pursuing a dream - I have obligations to my family, whose lives I want to improve. I want to see smiles on their faces and know that they will never need and will not know the feeling of real need. I believe that there should be justice in the world.

It's great when all those who want to work and earn money have such an opportunity. And it's a pity that there are many people in the world who are ready to work, but they see absolutely no opportunity to improve their lives.

You do have a "dream", you ARE pursuing a "dream". Maybe it is not the typical personal or individually driven desire, but it is still a dream, and your dream is to give them a better life. There are people who think like you, me included. I do not care what job I do, while I do love my job, I do not do it because it's my dream job and I only care about one thing and one thing only, which is making sure my wife is happy.

This means, if I work and then in return, I get my wife happy, then I am happy with my work, whatever it is. That is why I care about what we are doing, and our dreams are very important. There aren't really anything that would be making me upset as long as she is happy and I focus on that to make my life better.

Staying in your current job is not a problem, even if you feel uncomfortable. Sometimes what we need is not a pleasant job, but a job that can still provide us with an income.

Many people out there don't even have a job to earn money, and are still struggling to search for one. So we can stay with our current job while we search for others.

I saw that post on my Facebook feed and thought about it. It's true.
If we're still working in our current job, we're still luckier than those out there who are still struggling to find a job.

Don't waste it by thinking short-term about leaving your job before you can find a replacement. There will come a time when we can find something better than this.

So, hang on a little longer and enjoy what we have and be grateful for it.

From a financial point of view, it is absolutely true that before leaving your current job, you need to find a new job. In this case, the transition from one job to another will be smooth and "painless". Suddenly leaving your old job in the hope that you will be able to quickly find the next, new one, can have an unpleasant effect on the contents of your wallet. Because the search process can drag on, and during this period, your expenses (rent, food, etc.) will not stop.

But on the other hand, being in the old job and a stable income can relax you and the incentive to look for a new and better job may be reduced. And then, only a sudden departure from work can push you to actively search for a new vacancy. The result here will depend on your efforts and luck, which may be better than your previous job.

It's not hard to find a job, it's hard to find a good job, where you do almost nothing and get paid a lot. Lots of people in my country complain about no jobs and low pay but in construction, even if you don't know a thing and only work as manual labour, you can earn a very good salary but people are lazy and they don't want to work there, so they sit at home and complain.
If someone wants to leave their job, it's best to collect enough money to be able to take care of yourself for a few months to use that free time as an opportunity to spend 24/7 on learning a new skill or to spend time in finding a good job.

everyone wants a job, a safe salary by the end of the month by selling your limited time here in this earth
truth is few are the ones who want to take risks and end the month without knowing how much they'll have
but at the end of the day
what is the best option?

to have safety and comfort or to go on an adventure, fully trusting your skill in making it and providing for your own life?

[Sanitough]

This can be answered depending on many factors, but the sad truth is this: no matter how unhappy you are, if you have a family to think about or debts to pay, you are essentially a slave to that workplace. In fact, you are a slave to that system.

We're all in the rat race but we have an option to get out of it and we have to renew our minds so, we won't be part of the system anymore. But this is the big truth that we have to deal with, someone who's starting from the bottom won't get to the top quickly. And so, they have to bear with the system, learn it and understand it so they can get out of it once they figure it out. I think that everyone is thoughtful of their families but, it's not always that we have to carry them on our shoulders. Having debts is also one of the reasons why someone can move up their living because of how interest rates grow. But in financial knowledge, try to eliminate the debt first and minimize to completely remove it so that you can move on with the next chapter of your plans and you'd be grateful that you're debt-free. That's the start you'll live happily even if it's paycheck to paycheck but as soon you figure it out, you'll have a better status of living.

If only we can easily eliminate all those debts, then a lot of workers would just settle on a less risky job with low-paying income. But the problem is, debts are getting endless, the more we continue to keep on working, the bigger the amount of debt we get into. This is the sad reality, and you will only be debt free once you stop working, since no one would dare to grant you some loan if you have no source of income to pay for it.

I guess the only solution here, just stick to your job but get some side income. That way, you will gain additional income aside from your main income, that will be helpful already in paying the high interest of your debt.

That's a propaganda to make people become employee in their whole life because they keep thinking, if they lost this job, they won't get another one.

Most of the time, if you search other jobs when you still have your current job, you can't change your career. So let's say you're a welder, your top job would be an underwater welder. It's because you have no time to learn other skills and you're already tired.

Only brave people can earn much money, like people invest in something, they spend money to get money. People need to have their own "roadmap" instead of worrying to lose their main job.

It’s hard to leave your current job when you have a family to feed, I’m really guilty on this thought. But unless you won’t start taking risk, you won’t land into another, your dream job that pays over the other job. However, this is quite easy to say but actually hard to do when you’re in the real situation. It’s easier to just add another income than to completely quit from your job.

And it's also harder when you've been used to it and have been part of your system and daily life.

You're right, that it's easy to say that someone could do other things other than their jobs when it's paying them. They say that 9 to 5 is going to be for their job.

While the next hours is for their dreams. It can be done but not everyone still have got the energy to do it. But as long as there's a will, there's a way as they say.

If I am in a job that pays well and it's easier already because I am used to it, I won't leave it and just like what you've said, I'll look for a side hustle.

[hafiztalha]

That's just common sense.
Most people aren't dumb enough, so that they could leave their job and stay unemployed while searching for a new job.
I know that certain countries provide decent government support for unemployed people, but this isn't the case in most countries around the world. I don't have a stable 9-5 job. I'm self-employed and I'm grateful for my income and my clients. Working sucks in general, but at least you get paid for what you do. I don't like the idea of having a boss and I'll try to keep it that way. We should be grateful to the universe(or to God, if you are religious) for being alive and healthy in the current day and age. What we have now, might be lost in the future.

It is a world in which working is one of the major survival ways. Most nations would make anybody who quits his or her job without a backup plan to take serious risks. I know that the independence as an entrepreneur can not be estimated as it is up to us to organize our time and make decisions on which path our business should take without being controlled by a boss. Work can be boring or challenging but the compensation that we get at the end of the month is a representation of hard work.

One cannot be in that position always but thanks to where we are at the moment provides us with the power to look ahead through the dark side of the uncertainties. We should also bear in mind that health and capacity to work are not those things that can be taken away at any moment, so it is reasonable to enjoy both. In this manner, we will have balance in both having fun of work and being ready to change. Once we appreciate what we already possess we will be more judicious in coming up with our choices concerning work and earnings.

Your job is your financial security and our family depends on that because they will pay bills with that because they want comfort like a rich people. Today there is trend of solar penals and people are Investing more money on that and people have mindset to show they are rich people but actually they are poor . Poor people always try to minimize their expenses and that is good for them because they will not beg from anybody . No one has sympathy with us because everyone want to steal our assets . Business is not for a person who is habitual of doing job and job always give you money and always do effort for the money because if you have skills which are required for the business then you should start a business by doing investment.

[SUPERSAIAN]

Be grateful for what you have now. Many philosophies say that gratitude is a truly comforting emotion, and I've always believed it's a good one. While you may want more, you need to be grateful for what you have, for your health, and most importantly, for breathing, given our limited time.

But when it comes to work, if it's slavery, I don't know how true it is to be grateful for it. You might work under difficult conditions for a while to survive, but you shouldn't accept it and let it drag on forever.

Life doesn't work according to what you want, life works according to what you can and are willing to do. Good job isn't about risks too. When I was young, I always thought that hard work and a good portfolio was everything but that's not true, who you know is the real deal. I know people who are dumb but are from good families with good connections and have a very good life. I also know many people who were very talented and hard-working but being from poor families with no connections, made their life very hard and closed many doors where they had potential to shine.

The best option is to get connections. Invest in a good GYM, you can get lots of very good connections from there. Attend to local meetups, don't be shy with new people and slowly you'll gain someone's attention and then everything depends on you.

You wouldnt be always getting into the things that you do wanted on which we do all know that but there are people who doesnt stop not until they would be acquiring it, but we do know the results wouldnt be that still 100% guaranteed because there are indeed things on which no matter how hard you do try or work hard but still you do end up on having that failure and never be able to achieve or acquire on what you wanted. This is where some people do end up on some desperate measures even if it means that they would be that doing non ethical things and thats something that we should be avoiding as much as possible. Having that contentment in life does have that kind of benefit on which it wont be that making you somehow a desperate person. Its not bad to be that desperate for success but we do know that everything which is excessive will be always that bad.

Human beings does have always that wanting to have that more money or posessions and thats why they do keep up on becoming that too desperate on taking up jobs or works for them to have that more income. I do agree or we do all know that everything is too much would be bad specially when you are that trying out to compromise your health because of too much grinding but some people would be thinking that it would be better to die on trying rather than on making yourself that be stagnant on where you are now and doesnt have any improvements.

You are right gratitude does that because when someone is employed on a job they ought to be grateful because there were other applicants who also undergone the same interview as them but fortunately they became the chosen ones for the job, they should show gratitude through the expression of the work they're executing because when one leaves there job for another they feel is more conducive means that no matter how difficult it is for them after leaving the job they might not be taking back in the future when the company might have grown very high because there past reputation will become a factor of disqualification. But in the case of bad treatment and abuse such job shouldn't be proud of or continued.

[Leahized]

If you won't be grateful for what you have, you will surely have anxiety issues and you are not at peace with yourself. Just accept the fact that you can't change your situation so abrupt. If you are not happy with your living conditions, then, start changing it by taking the first step to get out of your situation. Make a plan and slowly realize your things.

In my opinion the definition of gratitude is on other people. For example, if a person benefits or helps, he benefits a man and expresses gratitude to the help he helps. Yes, suddenly life will never change. If my father has a lot of money then it is possible to change a life to change life. And there is no alternative to money to change life, so every person should take the right action at the right time. You don't know, not everyone wants to be in their respective places. Everyone wants to live well. However, many people need to plan the right plan. Who can help him in many ways. And if you make any wrong decisions, you will make the mistake immediately, then the life of a person will be beautiful.

I will agree and say that gratitude is great since it keeps the mind at ease and enables one to have a better view of things. However, I believe there is more to it being thankful and not enough to better your life. This does not mean that you do not have to create specific goals and strive gradually to achieve them. Money eases everything, however, it is not going to improve life by itself without the right choice and sustained effort. Thoughtful planning and making mistakes is what will actually result in long term improvement.

Gratitude is one of the keys to happiness and can change your perspective in life. When you feel satisfied with what you have, that's when you can reduce stress and anxiety. By being grateful, you can also increase your satisfaction with everything you have. My parents used to always tell me "love your job, then whatever you do will feel easy", even if you are not comfortable with the job at first, at least you are still lucky compared to other people who are struggling to find work.
There are many things we cannot control in this life, but you can completely decide what is the definition of a job that is comfortable and can provide sufficient income. Remember, nothing worthwhile comes easily in life without going through a process.

[rachael9385]

There is a popular saying in my place that "you don't throw away the water in your pot because of cloud that gathered". This is a deep statement that also reflects on this topic and means that you don't discard what you have, be it job or business,  when you have, not found an alternative. Hope is not always enough because the bills must be paid, so whatever pays the bills must be protected.

The last thing you said makes a lot of sense, it's funny that a lot of people are actually hopeful instead of facing reality. If you have a job currently and feel like quitting maybe due to challenges, if you don't have a better replacement there's no need to go anywhere. A lot of people make this mistake, while you work on something better or being independent manage the that you have at the moment

Everything we have gone through, gained, and lost must be appreciated, for without it all, you would not be who you are today. You are now the sum of your past experiences, and all of it is worth being grateful for in order to see a brighter future.

People with a positive mindset tend to live more peacefully and happily than those who lack gratitude. They often have a narrow-minded approach to life.
The same applies to wealth, everything is the same. Every financial mistake should be appreciated, as it allows you to learn from your errors and become better.

Thats how life works on which there would be those things that come and go into our lives on which whatever things that do happen then we should be that grateful with that. Come to think that there are things which arent that meant for us no matter how hard we do try and its recommended that you should be that having that kind of awareness on how you would act accordingly. There are those times or moments that you do become that ungrateful and even blame out God on whats happening into your life and even trying out to not to believe to anyone on which this is that very bad. Its always been that recommended that you do make yourself that get contented on what you do have. Its not bad to be inspired with others success but to think that for you to be able to achieve out such success then you would be needing up for yourself to have that kind of extra work and time management on dealing up with other income sources. You are the ones will be needing up that kind of planning on what you do have in mind and as long it would be beneficial then go for it.

Life is really just like that sometimes you are on top and sometimes you are at the bottom and the real thing is on how you do manage yourself during those times if you do get blinded by success then you might forget on how you do reach it and if you do get blinded by failures then you might end up quitting even if you are just that close to reaching it out.

[GigaBit]

If you have a good alternative then of course you can quit your job but if not then there is no logic in quitting your job. There are many people who are willing to quit their current job without arranging alternative. It is definitely foolish to take such a decision. Before quitting the job, he should be aware of whether he will be able to meet the expenses of his family. Even in many developed countries where there are job opportunities, it is very difficult to get a job with in short time. So it is better to quit the old one before having a new alternative.

I know the feeling that one would want to quit a job he does not seem to fit in, but we must be realistic to say that quitting without a plan is a risky maneuver. Our minds are not only concerned with ourselves but also and more so with the needs of our family members and they have to be met. The temptation to think that it is going to be easy to find a new job after leaving the present employment is common among many people only to know that the search process may take so long. In case we simply resign, financial pressure may come earlier than we could think.

It is better to remain in our employment seeking other prospects that when the moment to quit arises we can have a clear substitute at international level. This can also help give the mind some relief as ample money is saved to cater to several months of expenses. Major decisions cannot be left entirely to the emotion because the effects will be realised in the long term. We are spared the unnecessary challenge by being strategic before taking an action. When we can decide to leave when we are ready it stops being a crazy move but before a thought-through action, which provides us more opportunity of surviving as well.

But if your current job is not giving you good health, you can resign from the Job even though you have not gotten a new job, if  you die today your family will survive. We need to consider our happiness or good health before we remain in that current job to search for another job because there is no one will decided to remain in one job forever. That is the fact about the situation of taking risk to a better job because you will have double mind set towards your decision, if you leave the current job to another job and you discover is not paying well like your previous job or you leave the Job to another job and you discover the new job is paying well more than your previous job, and it will be difficult for you to make a good decision at that moment. Those that survived in adding income will tell you was not easy with them, because they have some challenges they face before they overcome the situation to become successful.
