Can we stop calling jobs ‘opportunities’. Do you say “I lost my opportunity” or “I hate my opportunity”? “ My opportunity doesn’t pay very well”? No, you don’t. It’s a frickin’ job - okay.

If we want to get real about it, let’s start calling it an obligation.

“Hi,I’m a CD looking for new obligations.”

“Joining this account sounds like a really exciting obligation!”

Big diff between a job and a career. A career opportunity is legit. A job is just a paycheck.

You aren't wrong. I like it.

Think about your current situation. For example, what are you spending time on that is outside of your control?

- Are you trying to change someone's behavior/belief?
- Are you forcing someone to like you?
- Are you breaking someone's pattern abruptly?

Focus on making yourself better and what you feel you can control.

When I was managing consulting projects, I told my teams that they should feel free to communicate with me if they had any issues or concerns. However, I also wanted their ideas about what they would do to solve the issue they are raising.

Situations can get "extreme," or small issues may arise when you are in the heat of the moment trying to accomplish your goals. That's normal.

But to change the pattern and prevent Burnout, you need to communicate with an action.

Focus on you. It's mentally draining having to think about what others think of you or if they even like you.

Focus on your growth, and the rest will follow.
