There’s nothing worse than feeling stuck in a job. Feeling ready for a change but also feeling so overwhelmed, scared and confused on what your next steps should be.
But it doesn’t have to be such a frustrating time in your life! First, try to shift your perspective and choose to view this as an exciting time of growth and opportunity. It could be the beginning of something truly great for you!
Next, consider these questions. They will help you when it comes to navigating through a career change and choosing the path that’s right for you.
1. Are you just pursuing the change in order to prove yourself?
Are you considering this because you are genuinely interested in the job or because you want to prove something to others? This is a slippery slope many of us can get trapped in. As we begin to climb the ranks in our careers we start to fall into the trap of wanting to prove we are successful, smart, worthy, etc. As a result, we might choose jobs solely because we think they will help us prove these qualities to others. But this can be a career killer that drains you of energy because you’re not in it for the right reasons. Which bring us to question two…
2. Do you/would you enjoy doing the job?
This is one of the most powerful questions you can ask when it comes to choosing a career path. While work is not everything in life, it does take up a significant amount of time and energy, and life is way too short to be miserable in your work! If you choose jobs that spark curiosity, that challenge you, that push you to grow, and that you ENJOY, you could come alive while doing them. Follow your curiosity and pursue jobs that actually spark interest for you.
3. Does it allow you to capitalize on your strengths?
Each of us is born with innate skills, strengths, talents, and characteristics that are unique to us. Our greatest joy and fulfillment in life comes from knowing what those strengths are and finding a way to use them in your life. If you choose a career path this will help you develop and use these strengths you will not only unlock your full potential but you will experience so much inner peace, happiness, and joy. Doing work that falls into your area of excellence – you genius zone – your strengths… That is the secret to thriving in work that never feels like work.
If you’re reading this and thinking this sounds wonderful but I have no idea what my greatest strengths and gifts are, you’re not alone! Many of us are completely blinded to these strengths, talents, and ways to capitalize on them.
