10 Questions to Inspire You to Find new career direction
Ask yourself:
1. What tasks or topics seem to come easy to me as compared to most people?
2. What do I love to talk about for hours with people?
3. What jobs or tasks does my physique make it easier for me to accomplish well?
4. What did I always dream of being as a child? What did I role play with other kids?
5. If you had no fear and there were zero negative consequences involved, which career would you pursue? Hobbies? Other potentially fruitful risks?
6. Are you at peace with your job being something that simply earns you money so that you have the freedom to engage in purposeful activity outside of work?
7. What did your parents tell you that you could never do (but maybe you really can)? Was there a path toward a career or passion you once had that you abandoned?
8. What is your version of being creative? What kind of self-expression do you find the most powerful for you to create.
9. How would your friends, family, colleagues and teachers describe you in terms of what makes you unique?Feel free to ask them.
10. Most importantly, when people enter your space, what do you strive to give them? Laughs? Information? Integrity? Companionship? Understanding? Non-judgment? Challenge?
What is this lesson and quote on purpose and career direction intended to inspire in you?
These questions are meant to motivate you to ask the right questions. Do you allow yourself to accept your unique gift? Are you too self-loathing, confused or anxious to accept that you have clear strengths and weaknesses?
Remember, your sense of purpose is not a clear path with no obstacles. You will struggle. You will doubt yourself. Your comfort zone will hug you too tight. You might want to turn back once you head into unfamiliar territory, but don’t until you’ve taken it far enough to know if you’ve found your gift/purpose.
Also, keep in mind that depression can profoundly influence your sense of purpose. For example, you could have discovered that you want to write comedy or play in a band, but you have to endure periods of low mood and poor motivation. Ride out the storm and your purpose will return. Talk it out. Self-express. Eat and sleep as well as possible.
Don’t discount spirituality and religion as ways to find purpose. Community can help you see what you’re good at and what people get from you that betters their day. I hope you enjoyed my career quote and lesson.
Don’t forget….your purpose can be determined if you haven’t already figured it out. You have gifts. I’m sure of it.
