Sometimes I really don't know what to do with my life. I woke up this morning and feel like i should have tried harder to make things work . There are times when i want to throw myself out of the window .Why do i need a job? Can i get paid without working? Why not get paid whether you work or not. Life would be much easier if we got paid while sleeping, eating and playing with the kids too. Plants grow even if we dont tend them. At times i think if there's any spark of free will left inside me. In the office i need to obey a lot with company rules, and do i get reward for a good behavior ? Do i need to beg to increase my income and and chase my boss all the time to get it? Sometimes its really great to whine, vent and make excuses. Can i be happily jobless?

This is a difficult question to answer without knowing much about your lifestyle - if you have dependants (children, a spouse who depends on your income?) then deciding to leave your job may not be a wise decision - if only we lived in a perfect world! If you are the only person you have to worry about, however, it depends on what luxuries you are prepared to forgo in pursuit of 'true' happiness. Humans are fickle creatures, and to some degree for most of us the grass will always be greener on the other side.

Unless you see the blessings in your present situation you will always be upset. Be positive my dear! There are those who are jobless while you are not, there are those who are just sleeping and playing all day and are bored because they feel so idle and useless while you are not idle at all. Learn to appreciate whatever income you are getting because not all people receives regular income as you do. Being positive gives the person a happy outlook. You can always strive for something better without ranting and ruining your day.

I think maybe you don't like the job and that may be your situation. Can you get a different job that you might be happier in? I don't really know if that is possible or not.
