After years of working toward your goal, it is not unusual to feel fatigue from the pursuit. All the sleepless nights spent trying to achieve your dream will soon catch up with you, and you might start having doubts about your goal.
Having a quarter-life career crisis even though you believe you are running after what you want is normal. While it is not easy to shrug it off, some tips and tricks can help you beat it, especially if you know that you are meant to take that particular career path.
Be firm. There will always be better opportunities and jobs. There will always be careers that offer better pays than the one that you chose. However, if you know you are set on pursuing your career, you have to keep your eye on the prize. Do not get distracted with the thought that you will have it easy if you pursue another path if you believe that you will be happy with your current one.
Respond to your instincts. Entrepreneurs reported that following your instincts when it comes to quarter-life career crisis might lead you the career path that is perfect for you. Do not force yourself into taking a career path that you do not want just because you have spent time and effort pursuing it.
Be flexible. It is never too late to change your path. Do it when you feel that it is time to follow another direction. When you are unhappy with your job and you feel that you are no longer giving it your all, it is best to explore another opportunity regardless of your age. HR News reported that older people usually change their career in order to fight a mid-life crisis.
