‘What Man Actually Needs is not a Tensionless State but rather the Striving and Struggling for some Goal Worthy of Him’
Viktor Frankl

I’ll never forget the time I got sacked right after my Nans funeral, I don’t think there will ever be a time that will be worse than that and if there is I certainly will not be looking forward to it..
–
I was so desperate to get back into work through fear of not being able to pay my bills and having no money I took on two jobs sometimes working up to 36 hours (day shift then a night shift back to day)
–
I then settled for one job – the easier one, I was getting loads of hours and all I had to do was eat shit, play on my laptop and sit behind a desk, It wasn’t hard, For the first time in my life I was ‘comfortable’ Financially and tensionless.
–
After a while though this tensionless job was causing tension, I had no life outside of work, No will to meaning other than waking up and going to work. After about a year of missed birthdays, family events, missing the scattering of my Nans ashes and a lost relationship things had to change.
–
If only I took the opportunity when I was jobless to sit and think what I wanted to do ‘Who I was’ Then, Instead of chasing meaningless paper (External things can’t fix internal issues) then life could of been different.
–
However that year woke up the inner beast that wanted more and now I’m working on my ‘Purpose’
–
Its not easy theres been some challenges and struggles, mixed emotion states and a period of going without food but overall im far more content with what is my meaning on this planet and overall happier.

Whatever situation your in your in a job you hate or you’ve lost your job or whatever don’t feel the fear of being broke,
–

–
Tomorrows not guaranteed so why wait.. Whats the worst that could of happen.. your phone gets cut off?
–
Whatever obstacle you face, Use it as an opportunity..
–
Strive for meaning
