    I agree on her. I just resigned my previous job because my mentor at work called me a slow learner , i cant do the job properly because deep inside i dont like the job from the start. And i was dreading every time i go to work. Made me depressed about it, made a wrong choice of work. Wish i saw this video those time i felt depressed, blaming myself of the decision ive made. Thank you for sharing your tallent❤️

    Yes, Lisa, if you are not operating from your natural strengths, you are going to be slow and clumsy at it. It is not because you are not smart or because there is something wrong with you, it is simply because you are in the wrong type of work for you! So many people are stuck in that same situation, so I hope you can be gentle with yourself for not knowing. Most of us are not encouraged to follow what we love and identify our core talents in our family, school, or society at large. It is why I do the work I do, to help you clarify your unique zone of talents so that you have a fulfilling and successful career. Wishing you all the best on your journey!

    @@isabellepeyrichoux It's hard to honestly tell. Sometimes I don't know what is true anymore. I love to be professional, but because I changed my job, I'm a newbie with 0 experience in that field, so I very rarely feel professional and confident. I feel dumb instead. So it fluctuates from 2 to 7. The subject (building, engineering) is not what I love or am interested in, but I enjoy simply knowing stuff and do important job not abstract, if you know what I mean :) I'd like to be useful - in my job, in a society and for the planet as a whole.

It seems to get harder and harder each day while everyone at work is getting impatient with me still asking questions. I have the dream job of a life time, my co workers are amazing, benefits are great, I was allowed to move out of state and work remotely, I can work any hours I want and I get paid very well. BUT because it’s not the right fit, all that doesn’t seem to matter and is causing me sooo much anguish and anxiety. It’s to the point that it’s unbearable.

    im 29 and a street sweeper. i think this everytime im at work. i know im capable of more but i dont know what im capable of because i had a mom that would not let me grow and become an individual while growing up. any concern i would have, she thinks "just stop thinking about it" will fix it. and then when i cant , she will gaslight me, telling me im obsessive and irrational. it feels like what im learning now about myself is what people went through early in life, like in high school. I don't want to be a loser, but my parents dont support me in my interests unless my interest is becoming a truck driver. i have no desire at all to be in such a trade

    What u said or experience is so true. It's not easy as said to go back to what is for for u when it's filled with trauma or hardship that u have to endure...just for that paycheck I hope ur situation has changed. If not, please keep chewing in here to see what the therapist puts out on here. I would say if it's impacting or mental health or physical health, serious consider other routes. It's like Domestic violence, u stay because u need that relationship but if the relationship hurts u to a level that your body and mind cannot handle (or life threatening to you with great damages), it's best to walk out. U will find What u love and loves u, it's just that the process is risky and hard. But remember best thing in life don't come easy, u have to put effort into pursuing. And once u find it, the fish group that she mentioned, u will feel at home and at peace and money will flow in. Sending you love and cyber 💓 ❤hugs.

    This video was very helpful. Your story makes so much sense with the fish trying to be a monkey. It made me realize that have taken the wrong path by working retail, my current job for over 9 years, when I should have been a Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) Designer, which I went to school for, instead. Whenever I make a mistake, I tend to beat myself up over it, especially since my current job requires us to take daily quizzes for safety compliance. I get some questions wrong because of lack of resources, miswording in the questions, or that there is only one right answer, which is the company's written answer. My main reason I feel dumb at work is that I declare myself dumb when I am actually smart. Mistakes also help people even though companies make you feel like they are bad. I will take all your words in the video to heart.

Last time plenty of phlegm was told I was going to drown on my fluids. The doctor said I had about 24 hours left. I thought it was not that bad as I was coughing up the phlegm.

    Hey, dont know if this is still looked at. But I will tell my Story nonetheless. Started an Apprenticeship 2 years ago, one more year and I will be done. Went into it despite feeling anxious and unsure, I mistook it for the Feeling of "Leap of Faith". It helped me grow a lot. Personality, Mentality and Lifestyle wise. Although it was a harsh path, fought through people who would push me down constantly and insult me personally. But I have always and still deal with the Mental fog, feeling dumb and impractical despite knowing alot and having lots of Experience. Im glad to hear Im not the problem, but I would like to fix it. I work in the Kitchen as a Cook btw. I dont think quitting is wise as my financial Situation is very limited and I got one more year left. But this Year is gonna be extra hard and I need to make extra effort. I have had Burnouts in the Past and they keep coming back. Therefore I thought about Therapy, but as a Cook I have zero private Life. I know I am complaining, but it just feels hopeless as fuck.

I've always been creative and very passionate about painting, drawing , storytelling and everything that is an emotional and true expresion of what i feel. But Art is NOT an easy job. So many people who have told me What the hell are you doing working at the harbor if you can draw and paint this good? And then i kinda laugh it away but it's not like i havent tried. I'm still trying. I'm doing some freelance jobs as an artist now and then but its not enough to make a living from. So yea i'm a fish who knows what watters he would be best suited to swim in but has to climb trees for aliving just so i can have a stable incom.
