StorYnia: How has Steemit Changed My Perspective

in #philippines7 years ago (edited)

I feel exhausted, restless and disappointed. I have not been myself lately and it sucks. It sucks that I was defeated by negativity.

For the past two months, I have dedicated myself to improving people's communication skills as part of my job. Hell, I would say that it's not just their communication skills that have improved but their lives as well. I had a lot of trainees who got hired after I trained them. But it seems like while I was improving them, I have been depriving myself of the things that could help me improve as a person.

If you are an employee, this should not be the case. Your job is supposed to make you better and not less of a person. So if you are being drained and no new skills or talents have been renewed, then maybe it's time to think about getting a new job.

I love my job. Don't get me wrong, I'm not being sarcastic. But it has been making me weak and negative for the past two months. I always do my best to help people land a job but in the end, it's me who gets disappointed. Why? Because I don't feel like I'm developing something.

It's not the end of the tunnel yet.

I feel opressed. Not because I am just an employee but because I don't have any choice but to stick with what I am doing. I have bills to pay and mouths to feed. I feel distressed, literally and figuratively. I feel like my youth is being taken away from me. I needed to rest. I needed to re-think my game plan. So I stopped blogging....

Until I realized that blogging is the job that I really want. When I write, I don't feel like I'm working. I feel relieved. I feel energized. I had to accept the fact that life is not fair. That sometimes, I had to deal with the things that I cannot really control. My job pays the bill so I must continue.

In the future, I see myself as a full time writer. I hope here on Steemit but if not, I'm glad I renewed my passion for writing in this platform. I promise to contribute good and quality content here and will stay as a loyal Steemian.

So if you're tired, rest. That doesn't mean you should stop. But always remember to do what makes you happy. Keep on steeming! 😊

Thanks @junebride! I knew Steemit would help me cope with this feeling. Thanks for reading

Godbless sis...

Don't be to harsh on yourself. We will all come into that point in our life that we are somehow confused if we are really in the right track. Just give yourself the privilege to rest. Do something that makes you happy. Do something that you love. Take good care of yourself and everything will follow. I believe you are a brave woman. Just trust God in all His plans. Keep Steeming and God bless ♥

I feel lost but good thing this platform is here to relieve my stress. Thanks for the support @jeraterta

Hey, I'm Oatmeal Joey Arnold, and agreed, that life may not be fair and yet we can always focus on what we can do in life in the moment and in each moment.

You can always take a break specailly when its needed. Go out, free your mind, do the things that you want to do. And I'm pretty sure you'll feel energized when you go back to your work.

Thanks for this! @oppaniayu. Really appreciate it!
