Wow! June is coming to a close and what a year it has been. Over the past year we have seen gas prices go from $4.50 a gallon down to under $2.00. People who felt they had earned job security through their years of loyalty, discovered a harsh reality. No longer does hard work and good employment records seem to carry the weight of years past. The view from the office desk has changed radically.
People everywhere have made adjustments and begun to view daily life a little differently. Many are making budget adjustments, some are cutting back in case the need arises, savings accounts are being built once again, and family has become a focal point.
How have you changed your viewpoint over the past year? Are you living in fear of losing your job? Are you beginning to think that if there is no security anyway, why shouldn’t I go someplace else or do something different? If these are your thoughts, you are not alone!
It is time to realize that so much of your time doing something that doesn’t make you, personally, very happy, is a waste of life. The biggest excuse I used to hear from clients was that they found it hard to leave the security of a position that pays well even though the work is draining them. With this false security removed, more people are ready to make the adjustment to live a life on purpose and doing work that is right for them.
Mind you, this is a journey, and not one to be taken lightly. The only person in your life who can weigh the risks and rewards between staying in a steady position, or taking the plunge, stepping out and listening to you heart is you. I know you have heard it. You have heard that voice in your head telling you that you could be so much more, do so much more, be so much happier in another job. Sooner or later, that voice won’t just be talking to you, it will be shouting at you!
Now that's an office with a view!
The call becomes louder, the longer you ignore it. It will keep calling until you do one of two things, you decide that you will not heed it and tell it to stop, or you begin to step onto the path that leads to your personal fulfillment.
Why wait? Start to discover your true calling now. You will have so much more to give to the world around you when you are on the right track. What have you got to lose for trying? You have nothing to lose, but everything to gain. You will gain a beautiful view from your desk, one that you created and is just right for you!
