BEFORE you jump the gun and make any impulsive decisions, have a good think about it first. Whether you are wanting to live somewhere different, get a different job, a different boss, a different partner or a different whatever because you believe it would be better than what you have now, THINK before you leap!
Are you familiar with the Aesop fable, The Ass and the Tanner? In a nutshell, an ass, belonging to a herb-seller, who fed him too little and overworked him, petitioned Jupiter to find him a new master. Jupiter warned him that he would repent his request, but found him a new master - a tile-maker. Soon, the ass was carrying even heavier loads and doing harder work, and so again, he petitioned for another change of master. Jupiter told him this would be the last time that he could do this, and arranged for his sale to a tanner. Of course, the Ass discovered he had fallen into even worse hands. He groaned and said, "it would have been better for me to have been either starved by the one, or to have been overworked by the other of my former masters, than to have been bought by my present owner, who will even after I am dead tan my hide, and make me useful to him."
And the moral of the story is: He that finds discontentment in one place is not likely to find happiness in another.
If you are sooo miserable where you are now, consider hiring a Life Coach. You may not need to make the same mistakes as the donkey when the "fix" might be easily within your reach right where you are now!
