There was a movie made in 1991 called “City Slickers,” starring Billie Crystal and Bruno Kirby. It was your basic buddy movie, built around the idea that three guys would get away from their lifeless existences each year by planning an elaborate adventure vacation. To sum up, when the Billie Crystal character returned home after the most recent adventure, his wife greeted by saying, basically, if you want to quit your job, go ahead. To which he replied “No. I’m just going to do it better.”
Sometimes, in spite of all the advice we’ve been dispensing for three years now, you find yourself stuck in a rut. Whether that’s in a job, or a relationship, or whatever, you realize that you don’t enjoy what you’re doing and you don’t particularly care, and you just want out.
And sometimes, you’re right.
But sometimes the problem has nothing to do with the job or the relationship–it has to do with you!
So before you go making wholesale changes in your life, the sorts of things that cannot be undone, make absolutely certain that the problem is not in you. Maybe you don’t need to do something different . . .
You just need to do things better.
