When Monday Morning Stops Feeling Like a Prison Sentence

What if the Sunday evening dread you feel isn't normal? What if work wasn't meant to be something you simply survive until retirement? Most of us have accepted a troubling bargain: we trade roughly 90,000 hours of our lives for a paycheck, convincing ourselves this is just how adulthood works. We develop an almost Stockholm syndrome relationship with unfulfilling careers-breaking away briefly for something better, hitting obstacles, then returning to the familiar misery because at least the income is predictable. But here's a radical thought: work can actually be joyful. Not just tolerable or bearable, but genuinely fulfilling. When your career aligns with who you truly are, something shifts. Money flows more easily. Stress diminishes. You stop living for weekends and start embracing Mondays. This isn't fantasy-it's what happens when you stop letting circumstances choose your path and start designing work around your authentic self. We've been sold a lie about career security. Politicians promise government solutions. Universities hand out diplomas as if they're lifetime guarantees. Parents push us toward "safe" professions. But here's the uncomfortable truth: success is an inside game, not an outside one.
