There's more to the picture than meets the eye. Hey hey, my my. Once you're gone you can't come back. When you're out of the blue and into the black .

Just hang in the game...Somewhere a spark might hit and you will be where you want to be.

If you already started one job, and quit suddenly, what would those people think that hired you and you quit?  They wouldn't hire you at all in 4-10 years right?  So you need to find out which job is more important to have right now, because you are living in the now, not 4 years. If the other job is better, and is more promising for your future, you have already started, so it's too late to quit that one. You already made your mistake so you've got to live with it, unless you really think that other job is so important that you should not leave it.  All I'm saying is that you need to put your all into one job, not be divided between two jobs. If you don't quickly decide and follow through you might end up with no job. Why did you take another job unless it's better paying or better for you?

to a very limited extent yes. its the worry benefit ratio.\nwhen you worry a little there is benefit. as you keep worring more and more....the increase in benefit is very little. \n\nalso worry take a lot of energy and time (brain time).\n\nthe benefits of worrying beyong a certain extent are too mintue. however the amount of energy and time -- such worring would take -- would be huge. This causes other problems.\n\nunless taking a huge risk...why worry so much?\nand also...why take a huge risk anyway.....specially if you worry a lot.\n\n\n\nMoral/Take away is \n\nthat generally --\n\nits much more beneficial to not worry beyond a certain point and invest that energy on getting excited about things.

Get back to nature, nothing replenishes the soul better.  Whatever you prefer, ocean-side, forest, lake mountain or try just stepping outside at night where you can see the stars.  It is a sure cure.

"In order to burn out, one needs to actually have been on fire at one time"\n\nMany creative people, myself included, have very strong emotions, and they aren't always "nice" Rage, anger, grief, despair- to joy, ectasy, and desire! Most people are content with the status-quo, and say, "don't rock the boat". Somtimes, though, boats need to be rocked.\n\nIntense feelings often precipitate a spiritual awakening. A person has only 2 choices- be overwhelmed by them, or learn to harness them. Those that succeed in harnessing them can change the world. It takes work, though. \n\nRemember, anger is the spirit's way of letting you know someone is stepping on your emotional toes. You need to learn to look past the anger to describe, in your own words, what is really making you angry. (I am still learning that path, believe me!)\n\nThings that helped me learn to cope in more effective ways: karate, writing, modern poetry recitals, art, mountain climbing, research, and service to humanity. Also, learning to stand up for myself in an assertive manner, telling off people who really needed to be told off, learning diplomacy, and increasing my vocabulary (calling someone a detestable sycophant is so much more rewarding than saying they are kissing the boss's ass!) Also learning to be genuine. Remember your intensity will make you scary to some, but will often act like a magnet for all the right people when you learn to channel it.\n\n          Good luck. Oh yeah, driven, creative people make better lovers too. Pass it on!

Everybody gets burned out whether your in college or on the job. I just want you to know how proud I am of you. These next 2 years are going to fly. Enjoy it while you can. Set daily goals and give yourself a break once in a while. You'll get through it. I was the same way when I was in college. I am so glad I stuck it out. I have a really good job and a wonderful home to come home to. Think of your future and what your education will give you.

better off dead as opposed to alive

It's better to burn out than to fade away.\n\nAlways reach for the moon- even if you miss, you'll land between the stars.\n\nAlways bite off more than you can chew then chew like crazy.\n\nIf you keep cutting corners, you'll end up going in circles.\n\nWhen you point you finger at someone, there are three fingers pointing back at yourself.\n\nA friend is someone you can drink with who will ALWAYS forgive you in the morning.\n\nRemember that life is for living- there's plenty of time to be dead.\n\nIt takes more muscles to frown than to smile.\n\nLaughter is the best medicine.\n\nAnd finally, from the man himself:\n\nI wasn't born with enough middle fingers.\n\nI'll lift you up like the sweetest angel, I'll tear you down like a whore...

You don't need to decide right now if you want to be alone "forever" or not. If enjoying time to yourself is important to you at this point in your life, then go for it. You may or may not decide down the road to enlarge your social circle, but there's no need to put pressure on yourself to do that until you want to. For now, though, don't burn any bridges. Keep in touch and spend some time with loved ones, because one day you may regret cutting them out completely. Just let them know that you're really focused on certain things and you're going to be spending much of your free time alone for a while. It's healthy to keep a few important people in your life, because you never know what's around the corner when you might need them. So don't cut anyone out completely, but be honest and let them know what you're thinking. And, no, I don't think you're crazy. It's your life and your journey. God bless.

I'll go with the former... unless the weather is extremely cold for your comfort. But had you had friends out there to keep you warm, the cold weather wouldn't have been as much of a bother.

No, Reiki does not fade with time. Once a practicioner always a practicioner whether or not you use it. What happens is maybe you forget a position but it comes back to you. You can't screw up Reiki. It is not ours to screw up. We are merely a channel for the energy. Just like an extension chord. By itself it doesn't make the radio go however plug it into the outlet which is like the Universe, then it becomes a conduit for the energy to make the radio go. Positive and negative energy telling the differences. Positive energy is always done for the highest good. We send positive energy to the body and we take out the negative energy from the sick person that is not conducive to his healing. We feel the negative energy in his chi and aura and we drag it out. We can't catch his disease because the conduit only has a one way flow of energy. We take it out and throw it on the ground and mother earth will take that negative disease causing energy and recycle it.

I would prefer the continual burning. Eventually the nerves stop hurting and you are still in exsistance. But that is my opinion.\n\nPersonally, hell is what you make it.

Well, true career burnout means it's time to move on. The signs I always used were: Drained of energy after work (regardless whether it's a physical job or not), constant complaining about work (more than normal), and dreading going to work on a daily basis. Yeah, some of these things people do every day, but when it's constant and actually taking a toll on your overall life happiness, it's burnout.

A bunch of experts here I see many good answers. I think you should work to live and not live to work. When you stop having fun with your work, its time to move on.

You know what I think? I say as long as you don't leave your lights up all year long... lol... \n\nIt'a absolutely about personal preference. I like to get started early because I like to enjoy the decorations. what's the point in all the hard work if you're just taking them all down so quickly?\nBut I don't think there is a rule.
