Circumstance or Design?

In my quest for career happiness I have discovered an ugly truth. Somewhere along my corporate development I became a product of circumstance and not a product of my own detailed design. In my eagerness to be a team player I stepped away from pursuing what excites me. No mistake though, I am very grateful for the experiences my past employer has given me. It has made me an adaptable, potential candidate for any position.  It is with this revelation that I have begun to redesign my future by identifying my passions.

I firmly believe work without passion results in mediocrity, dissatisfaction and disservice to your organization. Seriously, how can any business grow with mediocre efforts?   So, if you don’t have career satisfaction now what would you do to get it?  Well, today is your luck day.  You are going to start to action.  Grab some paper, a pen and write down your answers to the following questions?

1)   What would you do if you couldn’t fail?

2)  Who do you want to work for?  Yourself,  someone local, a big corporation, etc.

3)  What type of role do you want to play?  What are your assets and talents.

4)  What environments work best for you? Working by yourself in a home/office, physical labor, social settings, with people, without people?

5)    What’s natural for you?  What are you good at?  What are your daily activities?

God really has given us all the answers.  We only need to ask ourselves what we want and then seek it out.  He wasn’t joking when he said, “Seek and ye shall find.”

Godspeed!
