In the old days, actually just 5 years ago, the job market was wide open and you often had a choice of jobs. Which offer should I take was often the question. Today, you’re lucky just to get one offer.
Today, we have to be more selective in a career search and smarter in our quest. Just because a job pays well, does not mean you will enjoy it. Enjoyment comes from doing what you love. It comes from matching the inner game with the outer game. We all have unique gifts and talents we brought into this life. It’s important to discover and identify what these are. They are the clues to the work you love. These clues may show up in your hobbies, your daily conversations, or what you spend your down time doing. These interests come from your inner game. When we’re happy on the inside, it’s reflected on the outside. Start with your strengths and the foundation is sturdy. I use True Colors to let people quickly find their gifts.
Don’t cop out and say “I’m good at everything.” That may be true, but some “things” bring you more enjoyment than others. Follow your joy. Think about it, dream about it. Spiritual law says that you become, or manifest, what you think about most of the time.
