4. Dare to ask yourself if it 8217;s worth it. If you can 8217;t find the part of your job that you like, or if you can see yourself turning into the person you said you would never be, consider the reasons. It may not be a new job that you need, just a new direction. Do you like the person you are doing this job? If not, are there changes you can make to the way you do your job or is the job itself the problem? Do you need to be doing a different position within the same company? Are additional responsibilities taking you away from the work you were hired to do? Maybe all that 8217;s needed is some refocusing. Learn to say 8220;no 8221;. As much as you can choose the things you spend your time on, don 8217;t attend events or meetings only because everyone expects it.
Asking yourself why you do your job doesn 8217;t mean you 8217;re dissatisfied, just self-aware. This awareness can lead to greater job satisfaction, increased sense of well being and a little more control over what you do, rather than just 8220;going along for the ride 8221;. For some, it may be time for a change ― if so, don 8217;t be afraid of it. Change isn 8217;t necessarily bad, it 8217;s just different. For the rest of us, take a look around, you may find you 8217;ve got a great view.
Take a look at your life. How would you describe it? Contented? Rushed? Exciting? Stressful? Moving forward? Holding back? For many of us it 8217;s all of the above at times. There are things we dream of doing one day, there are things we wish we could forget. In the Bible, it says that Jesus came to make all things new. What would your life look like if you could start over with a clean slate? ( finished)
(续)4. 敢于问自己是否值得。如果你不能在工作中找到感兴趣的部分，或者你看到自己正在转变为你永远都不想成为的那种人，那么考虑一下原因。可能你需要的不是一份新工作，而是一个新的方向。你喜欢工作时的那个自己吗?如果不喜欢，你能否改变一下自己的工作方法，还是工作本身存在问题?你是否需要在这个公司调换一下职位?是否因为承担额外的责任而脱离了本职工作?或许所有需要的就是重新定向。学会说“不”。尽量选择做那些你应该花费时间的工作，而不要因为其他人的要求就去做其他事情或参加别的会议。
问问自己为何你做这项工作并不意味着你对它不满意，而是做到自知之明。这种意识可以使你获得更大的工作满意度，增加自我满足的程度，更好地把握自己的工作，而不仅仅是“随波逐流”。对有些人来说，可能是改变的时候了――如果这样，不要害怕。改变不一定是坏事，只是不同而已。而对于其他人，环顾四周，你会发现风景这边独好。
审视一下自己的生活。你怎么描述它呢?满足?匆忙?刺激?紧迫?前进?还是后退?对许多人来说，生活经常都是以上所有的情形。有些事情我们梦想着有一天可以去做，而有些事情我们希望可以忘却。圣经上说，耶稣使一切焕然一新。如果你以新的姿态重新开始，你的生活会是怎样的呢? (完)
