Over the past half decade I have slowly been losing my passion to do the activities I use to enjoy. This is basically slowly killing me since I am unable to find what I truly want to do for employment/work because I find my self between states of depression ( based on loneliness , emotional issues ) , fear of commitment / performances at the new job, and not having passion to commit to any particular work for extended periods of time like over a year or more.
I think the best option to break thru the fear of commitment / performance at taking a new job is just to do it and if it turns out bad then at least you have a foundation of how much commitment issue/performance issues you have to work on. And in the meantime this may spark a passion in a different job type because the only way to know for certain what a new job feels like or if you are up for the challenge of this new job is to try it if the opportunity is available. And for me I am at the point where trying is the only thing I can do provided people give me the opportunity to do so
For example if you enjoyed Math then computer work but now building stuff and the opportunity is available to build stuff should I not at least take a job in building to know if I want to go down that route. I think so putting behind my fears of will I be able to commit or perform well and just take the opportunity.
Also trying different jobs in different fields forgetting about commitment fears , performance fears ... I would imagine this would be the only way to explore if my mojo is completely lost for any kind of field of work. The best outcome is I find a job I enjoy which pays well and has great people to work with. The worse outcome is I found that no job gives me passion and also probably got my self on a schedule and lost some of the fears of performances. Or puts me in a worse mental/financial state which I am head down anyway.
And I guess the next step is just to look for jobs that could potentially get my mojo back in the area and just go in and ask for the opportunity. For the more formal ones send my resume and follow up carefully with phone interviews. And if it is a fully time , part time , contractor ,...etc it won't matter just take it try it , stay with it or leave it at any time until you hit on a passion or find none. ( as well as in the meantime get on a schedule , have the fear of job commitment / performance diminish hopefully)
And I know there is people that don't like there job but just do it because they need the money if I fall into this category I at least would want a passion/find happiness in something relationship , or activity enough to buffer me from the mundane work.
Obviously I hate to say it is that money determines your level of resources/property so at some point one seeking a certain level would need to choice from a particular set of jobs in that level bracket regardless of the enjoyment level.
A compromise must be meet based on the particular persons wants/needs.
your thoughts on all this?
