Pain is a huge motivator. When we're comfy, cozy we stay exactly where we are.
When we're in a lot of discomfort, that's when things get going.
Pain is painful but it does have a purpose.
It alerts us that something is wrong and we need to pay attention.
Physical pain in the body means see a doctor and get healthy.
Emotional or intellectual pain at work means get a new job!
Many of you will just plug and play one job for another.
Some of you will decide to shake things up with a bold career change.
The ultimate benefit of pain is the willingness and energy to change.
A career change requires more of you than a shiny new resume.
You'll be in need of:
Delving into your emotional intelligence
Understanding of your self worth
Doing lots of soul searching
Having a thorough assessment
Leaving your comfort zone
And much more.
You see, career change really is about the journey as much as the destination.
