Is your ladder up against the wrong wall?

Is your ladder up against the wrong wall ?

66% of employees worldwide are either not engaged or are actively disengaged in their job. According to a Gallup survey, those are the numbers we are talking about.

That means there are far more people that hate their job rather than those that love their job.

That also means you are far more likely to encounter someone that spends time doing what they don’t like for a living over someone that is doing something they like for a living.

So many people have their ladder up against the wrong wall.

Somewhere in the world, there is a corporate CEO, working 14 hours a day, who would have been the best teacher in the world.

Somewhere else in the world there is a budding writer stuck in an office cubicle all day.

Elsewhere, there is a miserable receptionist who would make an incredible professional singer.

Here’s the thing…

There’s nothing wrong with admitting to yourself that you are in the wrong line of work.
What if you just need more courage to quit what’s not working?
