What if you keep changing your mind about what career path is right for you?
This morning I answered a question from a 21-year-old person looking for guidance on how to keep one focus, instead of bouncing from one “main thing” to another each week.
It’s an important issue because people often change what they want, almost as often as they change socks, sometimes it seems.
And that’s why they mostly do not experience great happiness, joy, fulfillment and peace of mind.
In the video I created for our friend the 21-year-old, I suggested she not put a lot of pressure on herself to feel she needs to know right now what she’s going to be doing for potentially the rest of her life.
Because people often feel driven to head in one direction, which leads to something else and eventually “The Right Path” becomes clear to them.
For example in college I first majored in management and computer systems. However my sophomore year I became a disc jockey and fell in love with that, changing majors to “Radio/TV/Film”.
That evolved into a talk show which was closer to my purpose, and then out of college I easily found jobs in my minor, journalism, which I did for 10 years.
In hindsight, it’s clear that I needed the training in journalism to become good at writing, being comfortable putting myself out there (and being in my own skin). After my first book came out in 1999, I’ve never looked back and each year serves more people, more effectively, with the work I do.
Trace the main Decisions you’ve made, and how each “turning point” step was important to help you become the person you are today, with the skills you have needed to succeed doing what you love.
Or, if you’re not living your dream life… yet… then think about how what you’re doing now may in fact be one of those stepping stones.
Think about what you do now, and how that could relate to what you would love doing, passionately, whether you got paid to do it or not.
That’s likely much closer to your life purpose. Do your best to move closer to that, improve your skills in that area, and create opportunities to do more of -that- one thing.
Before you know it, it can be yours!
