Dissatisfaction is a major motivator that forces us to make changes in our careers. But even when we are dissatisfied, we find many reasons not to face the source of our dissatisfaction. We tell ourselves that we probably won't get what we want anyway, so why bother. We wait for the problem to get better on it's own before we act. And, we wait. We wait until it becomes apparent that we have no choice but to try something else. In order to get a different result, you must do something different. Often that requires change, either a change in your thinking or a change in the way you do things, and change is uncomfortable. At some point, you will decide that your dissatisfaction is more uncomfortable than any change you have been thinking about and then you can start working towards making your dissatisfaction disappear.
