Believe in what you are doing

Previously, I used to believe that if you've successfully completed a job/task, you will have a sense of achievement that will drive you forward, regardless of the hours put in. However, now I truly understand why some of us can become depressed even though you have done the job/task.

It doesn't matter if the journey is tough, or if you have easily completed the job/task. What matters most is whether you believe that whatever you are doing is aligned with your own beliefs, and your beliefs also align with the people in the same team.

If you find that there's a disconnect, that is where you will start to feel depressed because whatever tasks that are assigned to you will become a chore. You'll simple stop believing in whatever that you're doing and that the end product of the job/task is something worth looking forward to.

How to resolve that? I haven't the faintest idea.

Thanks for your comment.

This post might not have an answer to it. Your own beliefs shape your behaviour and reaction to outside stimulus. If something does not align with your beliefs, very often, the solution is to either change the environment to suit yourself, or you change yourself to suit the environment.
