Why Getting Fired Is The Best Thing That Can Happen To Unmotivated People

 

We constantly hear about the 9 to 5 struggle many are in. People need income to survive, but completely hate their jobs. The solution to this problem isn’t a quick fix.

 

 

In fact, it’s such a difficult choice that many people give up hope on their dreams to just ‘survive’. When that transition takes place, those individuals become unmotivated and often satisfied with the bare minimum.

 

 

What would happen if these individuals were suddenly fired? It’s an interesting thought. In this article, I’m going to share why getting fired is the best thing that can happen to unmotivated people.

 

 

Creates Hunger

 

I have found that having that hunger or desire is extremely crucial to making a change in your life. It’s easy to avoid change when you can get by, but change becomes inevitable when survival is at question.

 

 

By firing these unmotivated individuals, you put them against the fence. They will eventually enter a mode of desperation, which may push these individuals to take a risk or to make a change they had never thought of before.

 

 

Reflect & Embrace

 

It really takes a drastic thing to happen in your life to cause you to make a change. Many people who work 9 to 5’s often bring up stability as a reason why their career is far better than entrepreneurship.

 

 

These individuals have dreams of becoming entrepreneurs, but take to a 9 to 5 lifestyle just because it’s “safe”. When you get fired, you quickly realize that you have very little to no control of your job. Some higher up authority calls the shots and you can be laid off anytime he or she wishes.

 

 

Losing is great because you end up learning a lot from the whole experience. Hopefully, you are able to take the things you learn and create a better version of yourself.

 

 

Master A Craft

 

Many years ago, my Father was laid off his job. He used to work a 9 to 5 that he hated, but he had to survive just like so many others. After getting fired, he vowed to never take another job again.

 

 

Instead, he mastered a craft. He learned about an industry, built a business of his own and to this date successfully runs that business. If my Father wasn’t fired, he still may have tried learning the craft but he wouldn’t have mastered it as quickly as he did.

 

 

The lesson that I learned from his story was that you get time to seek and work on new opportunities when you do get fired. When you’re constantly working, you totally forget about what the world has to offer. Getting fired gives you a chance to catch up on all that you have missed.

 

 

Get Your Swagger Back

 

Getting fired is great as Jay Z would say because you can finally get your swagger back. You can forget all about the lack of motivation or purposeless tasks you were doing before.

 

 

You now have the opportunity to seek out your true motivation in life. You can finally find a deeper purpose. Remember, legacy is always greater than currency. So many of us die, but very few of us really live.

 

 

I have a passion for helping others really live. Getting fired gives you the opportunity to reflect back to the days when you were young. As children, we thought so ambitiously of what we wanted to do as life work. You now have a chance to bring purpose and long-lost motivation back into your life.

 

 

Conclusion

 

I have nothing against the idea of a job if you’re happy with what you do. My goal is to inspire people to love what they do. However, I hate to see people suffering with a 9 to 5 job that they absolutely cannot stand.
