Hating what you do.

– do you love what you do??

 3. Satisfaction.

– does your job bring you satisfaction?

-does it give you that inner satisfaction? note that here we are talking about the satisfaction that comes with knowing that you are doing something useful like making other people’s lives better or serving the community.

-if you do not feel that satisfaction, then you might consider reshaping your career.

That feeling of being small. Do you feel it at work?

Do you feel that you are being victimized, limited or made insignificant?

This may be a sign that you chose the wrong career.

Unsettling.

Are you always on the lookout on other jobs or other career paths?

Are you always ready to jump off and pursue another career?, well, you might as well do that because your current career might not be your right fit.

Lack of enthusiasm.

That spark.

Are you missing that spark of enthusiasm that comes with doing your job?

Think of reasons why you are doing what you do. If that does not give you that enthusiasm, then consider a change of career.

Lack of vision.

Do you have a vision of yourself in that same career path in the next five years or a decade?

Do you procrastinate and or hesitate in developing yourself in your current career path, if not, maybe those cold feet are a sign that the career path you are in at the moment might not be the right fit for you. Consider reshaping your career or get on a new one.
