… choose it or change it.
There is no point complaining about it – own the situation so you no longer have to dwell in it.
You can CHOOSE it by focusing on the positive aspects of what you do and framing your current role as a stepping stone to where you want to go in your life. You can also decide to lower your expectations and standards so that you are content with where you are right now.
Or
You can CHANGE it by building the skills you need to break through ceilings and walls, connecting with the right people to help you make the leap or moving on to another company altogether.
The key is to immediately stop investing energy on the problem and to divert that energy towards a solution that satisfies you.
