Although I like my job, there are definitely days when I'm out of it. I just consider work sometimes as unnecessary evil. I have to remind myself that there are real bills to pay and mouths to feed.

Focusing on the positives, but also seeking out other roles that are more aligned with my passions - life is too short to be miserable

Good luck! Hope you find something aligns with your passion soon!

I'm in the place now. I'm not passionate about this job but it's easy-going and it pays my bills. My coworkers are friendly and that's all I need to know to stay.

When I am feeling a lack of motivation, I have to remind myself that I am working to provide for my family. That always seems to help. I also have to look for the things I actually love about my job. I can always find at least some thing that I enjoy doing.
