Original Message It's been a while since I wanna put this out there to hear feedback but I don't know exactly how to. You see I've been working in the same area for many years and I've grown complacent. I am a musician by vocation and that is my true passion so my job is mainly to pay bills and have stability (which I do have). The problem comes with not really having any love for the job, it's just something I try to overcome but I can't have interest in it to save my life.

When co workers and superiors sense this they begin being hostile in subtle manners. Most of my coworkers are ambitious to be promoted and it seems this is actually valued by the superiors. I lack this ambition and I have to admit of being a bit stuck. The direct problem with this is that in every job I've had when people realize my lack of interest they start trying to pressure me, maybe subconsciously trying to show me that they're offended by my lack of interest.

Now mind you I am very responsible and I do my tasks and always show up on time, I am also very trustworthy and overall clean record. But even when being OK doing my job that seems to never be enough. People notice I just essentially don't give a damn and they develop a tacit animosity towards me.

I am about to finish my definitive music project and if this doesn't go anywhere I am gonna leave music altogether and I am a bit worried about my future. I am about to be 30 y/o and while a relatively smart guy I've never been a studious person and although I could probably spend the rest of my life doing what I do and survive comfortably I sense that this lack of ambition will play against me in the future. It seems I am bound to become a mediocre person and I can't seem to get out of this loop.

Can anyone relate?
