The Third Most Common Reason You Are Unfulfilled At Work
We’ve previously looked at the #1 and #2 reasons that people are unfulfilled at work. It’s now time to wrap up this series with the third reason which underpins the two others.
All of us have a tendency to look outside of ourselves for things to change and improve. It’s easy to become a victim to outside circumstances, spending time and energy hoping and imagining what our lives would like if the world around were different.
It’s easy to believe that external changes are the keys to improving our results. And so we wait, and wait, and wait… But nothing really changes. Instead, it seems to get worse.
And then comes a time that we start to feel unfulfilled at work and in life in general.
We’ve lost our internal spark for our work and we keep asking ourselves “What am I doing here? Where am I going with my life?”
We go to work because it pays the bills… Day after day, our frustration grows, our resentment builds up, and we feel stuck in a rut. We have become a PLOM – Poor Little Old Me…
It’s not me, it’s them… It’s the boss, the company, the economy, the neighbour, the colleagues, the customers, the market, the competition, or technology… It’s everything else but me.
The truth is, we don’t control any of these things. The only two things we have control of are our thinking and our actions. And those are enough if (and it’s a big if) we are willing to own them.
Ultimately, it’s not about them, it’s about us.
Somehow, we have decided to give away our personal power – the power to change our perception and take new actions. We let go of our accountability.
Accountability is not consequences, it is ownership.
Accountability is a character trait, a life stance, a willingness to own your actions and results regardless of the circumstances.
The very nature of accountability rests in the understanding that each one of us has freedom of choice. The choice to do something or do nothing. Everything we do in life is a choice. So, feeling unfulfilled and stuck in your career is a personal choice.
I know, people don’t want to hear that. They rather blame the outside world for it. And they often have plenty of logical reasons. And that’s OK., it’s a choice to think this way.
However, this choice is not going to help them move forward to greater joy, success, and fulfilment in life.
The real key is a big shift in mindset to move from have-to to choose-to. When something is a “have-to”, it’s a burden. When you choose to do something about your situation, you are able to tap your resources and give your best. It’s empowering.
Whether you like it or not, you choose your actions, your results, and your consequences. So if you’re currently feeling unfulfilled at work and stuck in your career, don’t look for outside change. Make the conscious choice to be accountable to yourself. Own the situation and be willing to look inside and make an inner change.
True accountability actively confronts the truth of your situation. It confronts freedom of choice and the consequences of those choices. When you understand that true accountability is taking ownership of your choices, everything changes. You move from resistance to empowerment, from limits to possibilities, and from stuck to freedom.
In Nutshell:
If you’re feeling unfulfilled and stuck, take ownership of your situation and make a conscious choice to change from the inside. Have the mental honesty and courage to own your thinking, actions (or lack of), and results. Do it on your own or with the help of a friend, or a coach. Don’t wait in the hope for the world to change on the outside without you changing on the inside.
