I was working in a soul crushing phone sales job and studying courses at night to get a promotion.
Every month my sales bonus would be less even though I would be more experienced and trying really hard. The final straw was being refused a promotion after passing the qualifying course with over 90% on my exams and month of studying.
So I said I quit and gave a week's notice. Then I decided fuck it im going to stop trying and just do whatever I want.
Since my job paid so little anyways I barely notice a change in my lifestyle with little to no income. I have much more free time to come up with creative solutions to make money. I ended up making more money in the last few days than I would in a month at my old job doing some training for a friend's business and selling some personal things that cost me money to maintain.
I feel like the less I try to do what I think I should based on others expectations and the more I just do what I want for my own life things just keep getting better and better. I still work hard but there is no job in the picture.
I also found the less I try to people please and put up with others bullshit the better things work out for me. I am trying to be honest and fair to others but I won't bend to what someone else wants to conflict with what I want.
TLDR: Fuck jobs, prioritize what you want for you, get lots of rest to create better solutions for your life and cut out things from your life that make you dependant on money as much as you can.
