Don’t let jobs and consistency fool you!

Hello all! I really want to talk through my article. I am not emotional here, as it makes me feel weird, but I am very thankful to people for noticing me here. The problem that I faced was low confidence and no productivity. I was running after a writing job, as I had no inspiration due to unknowingness. None of my relatives, friends, or even people in my neighborhood are aware of article writing. Even today, I am trying enough to come out of my fears of being alone in this career.

I have a nature of rejecting and escaping from things, but I tried to be consistent here. Somehow, I was right but still wrong. I never thought of applying for jobs a few years ago, as it's not productive for me. But stupid consistency made me apply for jobs. It was a fault, but now I am fixing it. I would have never run after a job, but during so-called ‘’trying to change myself’’, I started applying.

What was wrong here?

Applying — — ->No

Consistency — — → No

The wrong was forgetting the coolness I have, and it made me look like an idiot.

Surely, apply for jobs, but when you know you don't care about getting one, build yourself by not being too consistent on one thing. Consistency is for you, not for others. Be consistent with the natural flow of thought if you are applying as a writer.

Keep in mind: Put effort in, but don’t run after anything, as the more you run after something, the process will get fake. Your work should speak louder than yourself. I realized this, as the running process can make you a person who is flattering and impressing HRs to get a job. Do you really deserve this? I was never a person to do such flattering things, so it got weird for me to apply and run.

Live your life, and don't live your job. The more you love your office work, you will get approached like a donkey for more work. Why does it happen, actually? Actually, it's the fault of anyone who is desperate to get something. Live like a king, and a king doesn’t obey others.

It's simple. You are running after the job and are often focused on impressing HRs to select you. After selection, you start impressing others who are superior to you. You are actually not good enough to do all these things by being so good. Believe me, if you are impressing others, then you are doing the worst thing. People should like you mostly for who you are, and if you are changing, then you are actually working for others.

There are 80% more important things in life than jobs. Don’t run, don’t run, and don't run after anything else than these 80% things of your own life. Although I don’t have the nature to run after things, I still did this for stupid change. If you do this, then stop.
