For the sake of argument we are going to have a little chat about a work friend of mine, let's call her Linda. Now, Linda hated her job with every fiber of her being. She really wanted to go, but all the opportunities she heard of paid less. Every time she found out about an worthy position, she hesitated so long that the job was gone by the time she applied.
Why did she take so long to make these career decisions? Because she was guilty. She feared being told no, losing money, making the wrong decision...the list goes on and on.
Guilt and Work
Different types of guilt manifest themselves in relation to your career decisions. If you hate your position, you may be suffering from "I'm being selfish" guilt, because you feel negative about putting your own desires first.
You may be suffering from "I'm not good enough" complex if you feel it's your fault you were laid off or you constantly bring up over all the things you did wrong..
A third type of guilt is, "I want something I shouldn't" guilt. You may suffer from this if your heart tells you to go for a position in which your loved ones disapprove.
Guilt can stifle your enthusiasm and interfere with your career decisions if you let it.
Career decisions are not easy for anyone. If you carry around excess quilt about the past- it becomes even harder.
