Don’t like what you are doing OR you are saying you don’t like what you are doing?

Actually, there is a big difference in both of these
1. You don’t like what you are doing
2. You say you don’t like what you are doing.
In the first case, there is a chance that you can do something about it. Basically, you can change the situation in some way.
In the second case, you get a good excuse and a license for inaction. If you make no progress in your career and/or your life, you can continue to say that you really don’t like what you are doing. So nobody including yourself can hold you accountable for lack of progress.
By the way both are bad. I just hope you don’t fall into either of the above categories 
- Aspiring authors – Don’t miss this one
- Workaholics – Don’t miss this one
- Free Hugs Video – Don’t miss this one.
- We don’t have any competition

When you start saying you don’t like what you are doing, it’s time to go on a two-day retreat with yourself at a Starbucks, with a note pad, and start thinking about what you DO want to do. You really need to be able to at least fake that you like what you’re doing. Telling yourself, even in your own head, that you don’t like what you’re doing destroys the value of whatever it is you are doing, and ruins your spirit. Take control. You have a choice. We all do.
