The most important thing to remember is that you have to be proactive. If you want to change something, you have to make the first step. You can't just sit back and hope for things to happen.

It's easy to get stuck in a rut at work, especially when there are so many distractions around us all the time. But if you keep pushing forward, eventually you'll reach a point where everything clicks into place and it all becomes easy again.

You might be working in a job that you don't like, but it's still better than being unemployed. The problem is, while you're stuck in your current situation, the world is moving on without you.

You can't get ahead by staying the same. You need to change yourself and change your surroundings if you want to grow and develop as an individual.

1. Take risks

2. Learn new skills

3. Travel more often

4. Start a side hustle
 
A lot of us tend to get comfortable when we have a secure job, especially if it is by the government and not that of a private organization which offers pension. One way you can observe that is that most government workers rarely have savings asides their pension.

One of the ways people can get out of this rut is by being motivated by an outside force. Some organizations provide trainings and even help their staff get more education. The world is changing daily at a fast rate and we need to keep up.

Another way to excel at your job is by having a hobby, especially one that challenges you. Sometimes, doing the same thing day in, say out wears us down. Doing something different would liven you up and make you want to live, explore and be better.

One other way I think helps people improve at their job is by having good relationship with others at work. Having a poor working environment due to strained relationships can affect ones performance negatively.
