Study shows that around 60% of workers in the United States of America are unhappy with their jobs. We can interpret the word “unhappy” to mean absolutely not liking their job or just being okay with the job but not having much excitement in it. Whichever it is, the point is that 60% of United States workers are lacking spiritual satisfaction in their jobs.
How do we solve it then? The only way to get the satisfaction in your job is never stop looking until you find it. It may sound selfish and impractical, but it is the only way you can feed your soul instead of only feed your body with your paycheck every month. I do not suggest you to quit your daily job in an instance, but don't stop looking to find the job which you feel will bring joy to your life.
You will find books on how you can compromise with your condition right now, but I think those kinds of books are very limiting to our talent and ability. Explore your hobbies to find an activity which will lead you to your dream job.

Chris Rock the comedian said once about the difference between a job and a career. He said that a job is the one which keeps you feed and pays the bills, but a career is your true calling and you will really enjoy doing it until you feel that the time is never enough.
