Having clueless of what you really wanted in
life can be a huge dilemma in choosing the right career for yourself.
Adding up distractions from family and social
media on what to think of what success really can be daunting and misleading at
times.
So how do you know when you have chosen the right career for you?
Disclaimer:
These tips are all based on experience so I hope this can
give you two scents of how a very indecisive person like me knew what
I wanted to do in my life and hence to be sure about what career should you pursue
in.
My two-step Way on How to be Certain when You’re Uncertain
1.
Experience is Invaluable Good or Bad
You will never know until you try it.
That is one popular line I always hear when I ask
for advice. And true enough experience tells a lot on which career path you
really like to take.
In my case, I have to experience all the things that
I
don’t like at first before I finally knew what I wanted
to do in my life.
Anything will work but…..
Not the situation I am currently in.
This is a bit harsh but you will learn an
invaluable lesson after it.
One good advantage of having to experience the
things that you don’t
like is that you will always have the fire, that
inner motivation and strength that no one can easily put out.
Because, your desire to succeed and get out of
the situation that you don’t
like is greater than anything that comes up.
How to be in a bad situation?
Follow the advice of your workmates, family
members or friends definition of
success and for sure you will get trapped on the way realizing that this is not
your OWN definition of success.
Success is different for everyone, so do not
follow your friend’s definition of success.
Think about your strength or passion the things
that you will do even if you don’t have money or time. That one thing that you
will make time for because it’s important for you.
2.
Look up to a Figure You Admire Most
Everyone’s got a formula to success and
nowadays we are very blessed that those successful people are sharing their
hardships and struggles to success via a video, book or the internet.
I am pretty sure you can find your very own
personal hero that you wanted to become.
How will you do it will be a bit different from
your personal hero for sure because of our individuality.
But more or less you will have a sense of a
drawn path on how to start.
That is so true to me when I wanted to grow my
money thru investing. One big inspiration for me is Savings Pinay because I am
in awe of how she’s so independent and certain of her steps to financial
freedom at a young age.
That is one career path I am pursuing while
having a day job because investing doesn’t take too much of your time.
Going from Indecisive to Certainty
Benefits of knowing which path you are headed
to are;
1.
You excel on the things you do because you are
in the right workplace, you picked out for yourself to match your strength and
weaknesses.
2.
Everything is less stressful because you know
your true priorities are.
3.
You enjoy the process and grow wiser as days
past. No single moment is being wasted because you are doing what is most
important for you.
4.
You are generally happier.
Does this help?
I hope it does.
Thanks for reading all the way!
