Allow me to express my most heartfelt invitation to those whose lives are not going as planned to try the ultimate cure-all for their problems. Your life may be depressing, you may not have the job you want, but I have the single, most powerful method in the world to cure your problems. This solution has worked for untold others throughout the ages and has a long, ancient lineage.
This most powerful technique is called "Getting off of your Butt."
So you're looking at yourself from a professional point of view. You're a raging fangirl, a complete geek, a classic rock snob, what have you – and you don't want to show it. After all you worry about how you'll come off at work, on the job, to clients, etc.
Chances are, it's backfiring.
The more you choke off who you really are, what you like, what you do – even if it seems ridiculous – the less you're going to act like yourself. Since you'll be busy being something you're not, you're going to screw it up anyway.
Your clients, co-workers, employer, etc. are going to notice this and notice something is wrong.
Feel like you can't get anything done? Just don't have the get-up and go? Wonder why you can't get anything accomplished.?
My advice is to work hard to do things you don't like.
