Kick the Habit

The three most harmful addictions are heroin, carbohydrates, and a monthly salary – Nassim Nicholas Taleb

Heroin isn’t good for you.  No one would say it is. But people still do it because the short term benefits are just so appealing. . . like a paycheck.  Like a JOB.

That’s why quitting feels so good.  Think of how free you will be without that “monkey” on your back.  Now, don’t go into this lightly, there is some prework to be done before you quit and it should actually be consistent with who you are and desire to be as a person. (See “Should you quit your job” post).

There are more ways to pay bills than massa’s paycheck.

I choose to be independently unemployed. More on that soon.

What’s the best part of your job?  It could be “payday” which is a clear sign to re evaluate your employment, but hopefully there are other highlights.  Leave a message in the comments about what you are “addicted” to on the job.
