#652 - Chris Bumstead - This Is The Price Of Greatness
Modern Wisdom
85% of Americans Hate Their Work
Many people are worried about giving up their current job for something better. However, succeeding at a job that you hate is not as fulfilling as succeeding at a job that you love. Surprisingly, 85% of Americans are either actively unengaged or not engaged with their work, while only 15% are actively engaged. This means that the majority of people are indifferent or negative about the activity they spend 40 hours a week doing. While not everyone can easily change careers, everyone faces the same level of difficulty when making a change. The discomfort and pain felt during this transition is a signal that progress is being made. Pushing through the discomfort and seeing it as a way marker towards something valuable is what separates those who succeed from those who do not. Many people feel stuck in their jobs because they see no value in what they are doing. They want to contribute to themselves and to the world. Having a passion or a dream to chase after and making progress towards it, even if it is uncomfortable, provides a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Having discipline and a clear goal in mind allows individuals to find joy in their work and the impact it has on others.
