Have you discovered the right career pathway for you yet?
Also known as the Conscious Career, you will not find what you are looking for without listening to your heart felt desires first.
The concept of a conscious career is derived from Buddha’s fifth Noble Eightfold Path which is ‘Right Livelihood’, and laid down a moral code of business. We however, will take a more modernistic view and interpret Right Livelihood as…
“By aligning one’s own highest principle desire in life with one’s work, we reveal the whole of our nature, we share our heart and soul with the world.”
This very notion is elegantly put by Napoleon Hill…
…by aligning your definite purpose in life with your career, you can achieve complete success and harmony of life.
Just look around you at your colleagues, friends, and uncles etc. List how many of them complain about their work or seem out of sorts; which are unhappy with their lot in life, how many can’t wait for the weekend and are just filling in time.
Do you want to end up the same way? Of course you don’t, and you won’t if you convert your definite purpose into your career, your labour of love.
Recognising Your Life Purpose
So how do you recognise your burning desire, your definiteness of purpose?
It will speak to you from your heart and soul remember.
Your life purpose will reflect what you naturally do best, and will include your intrinsic talents and skills.
What are your core values, what do you see yourself doing, do you have any social or ecological concerns, what does success mean to you – happiness, abundance of love, or monetary wealth?
Keep a notebook to jot down all your thoughts, desires, talents and skills, observations, concerns and values. A pattern will establish itself until a clear path is revealed.
Once you recognise your true life purpose the hard part is over. Now focus your mind and direct it to follow your purpose down the road of achievement and success. Look up How To Define Your Life Goals to see how to establish a plan of action, goal setting, and to start success forming habits.
As you progress with your plans and get your conscious career on track, remember this ethic uttered by Napoleon Hill and Buddha before him…
“I fully realise that no wealth or position can long endure, unless built upon truth and justice, therefore I will engage in no transaction which does not benefit all whom it affects. I will succeed by attracting to myself the forces I wish to use, and the cooperation of other people. I will induce others to serve me, because of my willingness to serve others. I will eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and cynicism, by developing love for all humanity, because I know that a negative attitude toward others can never bring me success. I will cause others to believe in me, because I will believe in them, and in myself.”
…or more simply condensed just remember the tenet ‘you reap what you sow’.
So what do you think?
Are you ready to find your right career pathway?
Get yourself a notebook and contemplate your own self for a couple of weeks, noting down all you stand for and care about. Use the following headings…
- My Talents
- My Skills
- My Values
- My Concerns
- How Do I Define Success
- My Visions For The Future
…and in addition, journal all your thoughts each day for the fortnight.
Then at the end title a page ‘My Definite Purpose In Life’ and condense all your thoughts and notes from the above headings onto this page.
Go away for an hour or two, then return to what you have written and see your purpose illuminated as if for the first time! 
Sincerely,
P.S. If you have any comments, please leave them below. I would love to hear from you!
