Face your fear of the unknown
What we know well has positive connotations and seems more reassuring to us; this explains why we value our company, our profession, and our work simply because they are more familiar to us. You’ll therefore need to familiarize yourself with other professions and professional environments. To do this, engage in frequent discussions with experts in the field that interests you, explore your options, and do your research until your future career seems more familiar to you…
Take (reasonable) risks
. Just imagining yourself in a different job brings to mind terrifying thoughts about everything you might lose in terms of security, income, relationships, comfort… It’s much harder for you to accurately assess what you’ll gain if you choose to make a change. To overcome your fear of loss, you’ll need to objectively evaluate the benefits of your current job. You can make a list of what you particularly enjoy about your job today and what you absolutely want to keep in your professional life.
Improve your relationship with money
Your relationship with money can either help you or hold you back. If it seems impossible to you to pursue a career path that pays less than your current job, you can still make a commitment and contribute to a better world. You can decide to donate a certain amount each month to an organization that supports a cause close to your heart. A portion of your donations will even be returned to you in the form of a tax credit, so you’ll actually regain some purchasing power! It’s about earning money to give it away—the simplest and most accessible way to make a significant impact through your work. Not all of us are cut out to devote our entire professional lives to humanity’s greatest challenges, but this approach has allowed some people to feel truly useful without leaving their jobs
