How did you choose the career you're in right now? Was it based on:
- how much you enjoy doing the work; or
- how much money you'd be paid
If you're earning a good living but not feeling happy and fulfilled you're not alone. So many of us have been responsible and hardworking at the expense of our own peace and joy.
Some people don't mind working at a job that is "just ok" because they do something meaningful outside of their working hours. If you're missing something in your life that lights you up try exploring. If you don't, it's likely you'll become discontent and miserable.
Are you living for the weekend? A wise mentor once told me that I needed to get a mid-week life.
It didn't seem possible with the hours of work, the commute, family commitments and maybe getting some exercise. They were all "gotta do's." But that was an excuse for not taking action and getting out of my comfort zone.
Consider what you would do if you were given a six month paid leave of absence.
- Would you be happy to travel and return back to your existing job?
- Would you want to go back to school and learn something new?
- Would you want to complete a creative project you've dreamed about?
- Would you spend the time developing a business idea?
- Would you just love to spend time at home with your family?
It may be to read a book, look for a course, research on-line, talk to someone who's doing what you'd love to do. This action will activate possibilities.
Just like dating, we can go out, have fun and not get married to an idea. Make a commitment to go somewhere where the person you dream of being would hang out.
Happy dreaming and exploring.
Peace and Joy ~
