The dreaded W word.....Work
Where did you get your beliefs about work, about
life? Was it from your family, friends, jobs you've held or
currently hold, people you've talked to, the media? Have you
believed that work had to be boring, less than adequate financially, or
that the kind of work you are cut out for can't possibly cause you to be
eager to begin your day? Were you told that you had to work for
someone else in order to survive? Ask yourself, "What do YOU
believe, and why"?
.... A word about beliefs.
Beliefs are the thoughts that govern how we live our
lives. If we believe that we are beautiful, brilliant and capable,
we will make decisions that support those beliefs. If, on the other
hand, we believe that we are unimportant, unintelligent, fat, ugly, or
doomed to failure, we will also make decisions to support those negative
beliefs. You've probably heard stories about individuals who have
created successful lives for themselves even though their beginnings
weren't so great. What was their secret? Simple. The
secret was what they believed about themselves to be true, what they could
accomplish and what they could have.
It's time to choose. Which beliefs will you choose
to live by?
If we have been living our lives based on various
negative beliefs, now is the time to create new beliefs, new concepts and
ideas about work and life in general.
So, you don't like your job. Ask yourself this
question, "Why?". What is it about your current job that
you find unsatisfactory? Is the commute, the hours, salary,
benefits, work environment, working around people or working alone, lack
of opportunity for expression and creative freedom? You'll need to
determine why you feel the way you do. This will help you to
determine what you're really looking for.
It could be that you need to consider a career change,
or maybe even become self employed. Asking yourself the important
questions and truthfully answering them will help you immensely. You
will have a good grasp on what you should be striving for in the area of
work.
