What to take into account when choosing a profession

Have you got a feeling that you are missing something important in your life?<

Do you have a career you can be proud of? But…yet you’ve got a feeling that if you continue doing it for another 5-10 years, it is a safe, but completely wrong choice? Does it sound familiar?

You have come to the right place because I have the right tools for you to move your career forward.

How did you choose your career when you were younger? Did you decide to do what you like? Or did you also consider what is right (safe, well-paid, cool, prestigious, etc)?

When it comes to a career choice, we try to balance two parts:

– Internal – our gut feeling that tells us what our Purpose is. Our likes, strength, talents.
– External – what the world is willing to pay you for, and all the external rules, parental instructions, etc.

Very often our calling contradicts with our own beliefs (that we once got from the external world – parents, teachers, etc).

For instance a very talented musician choses to become a financial manager, because he heard many times from his mother that as a musician he cannot make a living. He doesn’t realize it, but he chose for a safe job, and makes music as a hobby. He doesn’t know what is wrong, but he has a feeling that he is doing something wrong in his life. As if he fails himself.

When you know really well what your Purpose is and what the external world offers you – you can create a very well balanced life. You’ll have a feeling that you are a master of your own life.

If you are not completely satisfied yet with your career choice – it’s either that your Purpose has to get more clarity or the limiting beliefs, biases and expectations regarding life should be checked.

So where are you now in your life compared to where you want to be?
