Question
:
Have you ever reached a point in your life where you have lost
your job or the desire to change your position and are no longer willing to
tolerate an unfulfilling professional life that provides financial compensation
but little else in the way of reward? It is no longer good enough to simply
have a job; we want more and we want it now!
You have heard
it
called many things. Some refer to it as your
purpose
;
others refer to it as your
vision
or
mission in life
. Still others call it your
ultimate
goal
or
dream
.
Whatever title you attach to it, recognizing your calling, and answering that
call, is the key to experiencing
true
happiness.
If you have not found your career calling, you feel incomplete. Is there a
yearning for more? Is there a hole in your soul? Is something gnawing at your
gut that suggests you have not done all that you can or should? Do you
worry about regret and wasted talent? When did your dream die? When
was it consumed by the realities of bills, responsibilities, and deadlines?
When did complacency, procrastination, and apathy creep into your life?
When did you allow yourself to be consumed with daily routine and ignore
the importance of taking time each day for self-awareness and personal
career planning?
