I have been struggling with my job. I don't like it at all but I have to continue it for some reason. With my current job, neither I'm satisfied nor I'm happy with my personal life (I have to live far away from my family). I am serving this company for the last 3 years.
I can't lead my own way of life, I can't enjoy myself. In other words, I am not happy at my own definition of "Happiness".
What's important to you?
A job which pay a fixed salary at the end of month, no matter what you are sacrificing for that job?
Or, happiness by your own definition?
I think the most important is choosing happiness by your own definition, yes you may feed your family, pay your bills then get promoted but happiness isn't t this if you don't feel the contentment and the competitiveness and the freedom of being a real human. You're just isolating yourself with the things you know the society will like and will appreciate. The real happiness is the one the feeds our soul, the one that makes us not want to sleep anymore because we're too busy enjoying the things we are currently doing.
